Marco Reus returns to the starting line-up to captain Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie against Sevilla in Spain on Wednesday. Reus was only used as a substitute in last weekend's 2-2 draw with Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga but joins Jadon Sancho and Erling Braut Haaland in the German side's attack at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan stadium. Julian Brandt, Giovanni Reyna and Thomas Delaney all drop out, with the latter not travelling as his wife is about to give birth. Spanish right-back Mateu Morey and Mahmoud Dahoud also come into Edin Terzic's line-up, while English 17-year-old Jude Bellingham keeps his place. Sevilla coach Julen Lopetegui makes seven changes to the team that beat Huesca in La Liga at the weekend, as Alejandro 'Papu' Gomez makes his Champions League debut for last season's Europa League winners after moving from Atalanta in January. Starting line-ups: Sevilla (4-3-3) Yassine Bounou; Jesus Navas (capt), Jules Kounde, Diego Carlos, Sergio Escudero; Joan Jordan, Fernando, Ivan Rakitic; Suso, Youssef En-Nesyri, Alejandro 'Papu' Gomez Coach: Julen Lopetegui (ESP) Borussia Dortmund (4-3-2-1) Marwin Hitz; Mateu Morey, Manuel Akanji, Mats Hummels, Raphael Guerreiro; Mahmoud Dahoud, Emre Can, Jude Bellingham; Marco Reus (capt), Jadon Sancho; Erling Braut Haaland Coach: Edin Terzic (GER) Referee: Danny Makkelie (NED) as/jc
