A hamstring injury has kept Borussia Dortmund leading striker Erling Haaland out of the squad for the past month, but he is due to return for the Bundesliga match against Wolfsburg on Sunday.

Since the 20-year-old's absence from the squad, Dortmund have won just one of their four games, and Wolfsburg head coach Oliver Glasner admitted on Friday that the Norway international "is often the player who makes the difference", before adding: "I don't think it would be fair to the quality of the Borussia Dortmund squad if we reduced it to just Haaland alone."

Haaland, who has scored 17 goals this season, has been linked to a possible January move to a number of clubs including Real Madrid, Manchester United and Chelsea.
