Mats Hummels to return from injury in time for Roma clash

Borussia Dortmund defender Mats Hummels is set to return from injury in time for Tuesday's Champions League clash with Roma.

The German international has been sidelined since September with a knee injury, but he has now returned to training and is expected to be available for selection against the Serie A giants.

Hummels' return is a major boost for Dortmund, who have been struggling defensively in his absence. The Black and Yellows have lost their last two matches in all competitions, conceding six goals in the process.

Hummels is a key player for Dortmund, and his return will be a welcome boost to the team's hopes of qualifying for the knockout stages of the Champions League.

Dortmund are currently third in Group H, with four points from their first three matches. They need to beat Roma to keep their hopes of reaching the last 16 alive.

The match against Roma will be Hummels' first appearance in the Champions League this season. He will be hoping to make a positive contribution and help Dortmund secure a vital victory.
