Emre Can is a doubt for the UCL quarter-final against Atletico Madrid

Borussia Dortmund midfielder Emre Can is a doubt for Wednesday 's Champions League quarter-final against Atletico Madrid after feeling "a bit sick before the departure" of the team to the Spanish capital, according to Borussia coach Edin Terzic, who is "optimistic" about his availability.

"This morning, Emre felt a bit sick before the departure from the airport. He was seen again by the doctor and we have decided that we are going to reserve him this afternoon (in training), although we are optimistic that he will be able to play in the game.

"We will wait to see how he evolves over the next 24 hours," the coach told a press conference at the Civitas Metropolitano stadium, the venue for Wednesday's match, before training.

Felix Nmecha is the alternative in midfield for the starting eleven if Emre Can is unavailable, whom he also replaced at the press conference, where the German international midfielder was scheduled to appear.
