Borussia Dortmund hot shots Erling Braut Haaland and Jadon Sancho took part in training Tuesday as Lucien Favre's side look to shoot down big-spending Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.

Dortmund host PSG in the last 16, first leg at Signal Iduna Park with PSG's Brazilian superstar Neymar expected to return after missing four games with a rib injury.

But Dortmund pack plenty of firepower of their own. Since his January move to Westphalia, Norwegian striker Haaland, 19, has scored nine goals in six appearances, while England international Sancho has chipped in with his fair share too as Dortmund keep pace with Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich.

"They're a dangerous team," Favre said of French champions PSG.

"When you lose the ball, they move very fast up front. The key will be how we defend.

"It's important that we're very strong on winning the ball and then, when in possession, that we stay calm."
