Confirmed Match Officials: Manchester City vs Borussia Dortmund (UEFA Champions League)

UEFA have announced the match officials for Manchester City's Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund at the Etihad Stadium.

Daniele Orsato will take charge of Manchester City versus Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday evening.

Both City and Dortmund won their opening Group Stage matches last week, as Pep Guardiola's side thrashed Sevilla and the Bundesliga giants comfortably beat FC Copenhagen.

Erling Haaland scored twice on his Champions League debut for Manchester City, and is preparing to come up against his former club in midweek.

The 22 year-old, who has already scored 12 goals this season, moved from Dortmund to City for £51 million this summer.

Central defender Manuel Akanji is also in contention to face his former club, after completing a £15 million deadline day switch to the Etihad Stadium.

Akanji made his Manchester City debut against Sevilla last week.

City return to action following the postponement of all English football at the weekend, as a mark of respect for Her Majesty the Queen, who died at the age of 96 on Thursday afternoon.
