​First Champions League home game – live blog vs VillarrealWhat’s on today:11 a.m.: Final training session at the BVB training ground2 p.m.: Press conference with Niko Kovac and Waldemar Anton at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK8 p.m.: Villarreal FC press conference at SIGNAL IDUNA PARKAlongside the head coach, Waldemar Anton will also take a seat on the podium in the media room. The defender, who has served as BVB captain so far this season, left no doubt about how excited he is for Tuesday evening: “The anticipation is huge. For every player who plays for Borussia Dortmund, a home game like this in the Champions League is something very special. Last season is behind us, we’re looking ahead and going full throttle from the start. And tomorrow we want to take the first step.”+++ Kovac warns against Villarreal +++At the press conference, the Dortmund coach also stressed that he will not be misled by Villarreal FC’s current 16th place in the Spanish table: “We mustn’t make the mistake of overrating their league position. It doesn’t reflect their performances in the first four league matches. And we also know this: when the Champions League anthem plays, it’s a whole different story anyway.”For Kovac, last year’s emphatic 4-0 win over Villarreal also no longer matters: “It sounded very clear-cut, but it was actually a very tight affair.” (Match preview: Kovac warns against the “Yellow Submarine” despite Villarreal’s poor start)At the press conference, head coach Niko Kovac commented on the remaining squad questions for Tuesday’s match: in addition to long-term absentees Giannis Konstantelias and Emre Can (both recovering from cruciate ligament tears), Nico Schlotterbeck and Ramy Bensebaini are unavailable due to red-card and second-yellow suspensions respectively.Furthermore, as feared, Filippo Mane will also not be an option for tomorrow’s match or the fixtures that follow: “We assume nothing will happen before the international break. He will certainly only return after that,” Kovac confirmed. Mane had to be substituted due to injury in Saturday’s match away at TSG Hoffenheim.Meanwhile, BVB fans do not need to worry about Daniel Svensson and Konstantinos Karetsas, who did not take part in team training on Monday. Kovac said of them: “That was completely normal today. It can always happen that we let one or two players recover in the dressing room or in the gym. Both are perfectly fit and are options for the match.” (Squad update)The Champions League balls are ready as Borussia Dortmund’s players step onto the training pitch. Under blue skies, 18 outfield players and three goalkeepers complete the final training session on Monday morning. Not involved: Daniel Svensson and Konstantinos Karetsas, who are doing an individual session indoors, the suspended Ramy Bensebaini, and Filippo Mane, who had to go off injured against Hoffenheim.
