"Pulisic and Dembele are both ill and Aubameyang has a swelling in the calf muscles. "And it will take several weeks, at least, for Marco Reus to return. But [Nuri] Sahin is fit again and Sokratis [Papastathopoulos] will be able to play."With Dortmund struggling so badly with injuries, Tuchel is finding himself left with little option but to play younger players, admitting they are being given a "crash course" introduction to the rigours of the Bundesliga and Champions League."There is no time to ease young players into it," he added. "It's a crash course for them now. "Our young players have earned our full support, but it will be a difficult game for us against Union."It's our ambition to win the match. We want to get our fans behind us with the way we play. "Generally, there is always a special atmosphere at our home matches. But we expect Union Berlin to bring a lot of fans. Hopefully they won't crash the party."</blockquote>
