Signal Iduna Park sets the stage for a heavyweight UEFA Champions League showdown between Borussia Dortmund and Inter Milan.

According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, three Nerazzurri players must tread carefully tonight to avoid suspension.

Desperate to halt a three-game losing streak in Europe’s most prestigious competition, Inter headed to Germany without several first-team stars.

In addition to long-term absentees Denzel Dumfries and Hakan Calhanoglu, Cristian Chivu lost star midfielder Nicolo Barella to injury on Monday.

Chivu’s men need three points to stay in the top-eight picture, though other results must also go their way.

However, the Italian giants must hold up their end of the bargain, seeking their first high-profile win of the season.

Therefore, Chivu is willing to take risks.

Captain Lautaro Martinez, defensive stalwart Alessandro Bastoni, and veteran midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan are all one yellow card away from suspension.

Although it means they would miss Inter’s first game in the knockouts, Chivu is ready to field all three players tonight.
