The Light Blues head into the UEFA Europa League knockout play-off second-leg with a 4-2 victory following a strong display last Thursday.
Speaking to the media at this afternoon’s pre-match press conference, Balogun was asked for his thoughts on Dortmund’s top goalscorer Erling Haaland missing the tie.
The defender admitted he had ‘mixed feelings’ but knows Dortmund have strength in their squad.
He added: “I think in these competitions you want to compete against the best and I think he is one of the best at the moment so from that perspective it is a sad thing.
“If you look at what he means to Dortmund it is obviously a disadvantage to them. It is going to weaken them up front a little bit but then again they have got enough to compensate. There are mixed feelings but I am definitely not going to complain about that!”
Balogun has missed the last few matches through injury, including last week’s first-leg, but when asked about his fitness ahead of tomorrow’s tie he responded: “All I can say is I am available again, I am back fit and I have been craving to get ready for these kind of fixtures - I am here and I am ready.”
