Borussia Dortmund will defend a 1-0 lead over Paris Saint-Germain when the two sides meet in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final on Tuesday.

Niclas Fullkrug bagged the only goal of the game last time out but it was Jadon Sancho who stole the headlines, dribbling Dortmund to within 90 minutes of their first Champions League final since 2013.

Here's who Edin Terzic could deploy to make progression certain.

GK: Gregor Kobel - Improbable for another man to be donning the gloves on Tuesday, the Swiss international has been sublime this season.

RB: Julian Ryerson - There were doubts about how Ryerson would handle Kylian Mbappe in the first leg, but the 26-year-old silenced those at the Signal Iduna Park.

CB: Mats Hummels - Having played every minute of Dortmund's Champions League campaign thus far, Hummels is a crucial asset for Terzic.

CB: Nico Schlotterbeck - Providing an assist and picking up a card in Germany showcased the 24-year-old's determination in both attack and defence for Dortmund.

LB: Ian Maatsen - Sancho isn't the only loanee loving life in Dortmund. Maatsen continues to impress on his stint away from Chelsea.

DM: Marcel Sabitzer - The Austrian midfielder was instrumental in Dortmund's quarter-final second leg against Atletico Madrid, scoring and assisting in a 4-2 win. Can he find that form in round two against PSG?

DM: Emre Can - It's highly likely that Can will be tasked with the responsibility of shielding the back four once again.

RW: Jadon Sancho - Enjoying life (again) with the German outfit, Sancho continuously created opportunities for Dortmund in the first leg against PSG. Luis Enrique will be diligently working ahead of Tuesday, formulating strategies to neutralise the threat posed by the Englishman.

AM: Julian Brandt - Despite his finishing leaving something to be desired, Brandt remained actively engaged and positive throughout the first match.

LW: Karim Adeyemi - Terzic will be counting on Adeyemi to leverage his blistering pace once more, this time with even greater effectiveness, especially given his noticeable fatigue towards the end of the PSG match.

CF: Niclas Fullkrug - Fullkrug is expected to start up top for Dortmund on Tuesday, earning the nod after to his crucial goal in the first leg, but expect some minutes for the returning Sebastien Haller.
