LONDON - Struggling at home but excelling in the Champions League, Borussia Dortmund is headed to Arsenal on Wednesday.Dortmund, which has already qualified for the second round, will travel to London without forward Marco Reus, who is out with an ankle injury. Reus was hurt in the 2-2 draw with Paderborn over the weekend, a result that left Dortmund in 16th place in the Bundesliga standings.Arsenal, which blew a three-goal lead against Anderlecht in the last match, can join Dortmund in the last 16 with a draw.In the other group match, Galatasaray plays Anderlecht.Here are some things to know about Wednesdays matches:___DORTMUNDS WOESDortmund has fallen back into the relegation zone in the Bundesliga after wasting a 2-0 lead to settle for a 2-2 draw at promoted Paderborn.But even worse, it lost Reus, who was the victim of a vicious tackle and will be sidelined into 2015 with an ankle injury, his third major injury this year.Reus latest misfortune has sparked a debate, with some calling for the player who commits such a foul to be suspended until the injured player recovers. Although few believe such a move is practical, everyone agrees top players need better protection.Hans-Joachim Watzke, Dortmunds CEO, has asked for blood, sweat and tears from the team and that injuries should be no excuse for setbacks. Dortmund should produce top performances not only in the Champions League but against lower-ranked opposition as well.Dortmund coach Juergen Klopp will also be missing defenders Mats Hummels and Sokratis Papastathopoulos through injuries, while striker Ciro Immobile may get a rare start.___ARSENAL EXPECTANTArsenal needs only a point from its last two Champions League matches to secure its place in the second round.The team heads into the match against Dortmund after it lost to Manchester United 2-1 in the Premier League on Saturday. Memories of the Anderlecht match are also fresh.We all know that our last match in the Champions League at home to Anderlecht was disappointing, Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny said. But we must put that behind us and were all ready to bounce back against Dortmund and hopefully get a place in the last 16.Arsenal is second in Group D with seven points, five behind Dortmund.___ANDERLECHT STRUGGLINGDespite its three-goal comeback to force a 3-3 draw at Arsenal three weeks ago, Anderlecht is struggling again.The Belgian team lost to Charleroi 3-1 over the weekend and as a result is now trailing FC Brugge in the league. Now it is up to coach Besnik Hasi to motivate his players again.There is no reason to doubt. I know my players will be ready on Wednesday, Hasi said. The only positive thing to come out of the loss is that my players will have both feet on the ground again.Anderlecht will be able to recover Belgium international Steven Defour to beef up its defensive midfield.A victory at the Vanden Stock Stadium would guarantee Anderlecht at least a place in the Europa League after the winter break and maintain a theoretical chance to advance in the Champions League.___PRESSURE ON PRANDELLIGalatasaray coach Cesare Prandelli is under intense pressure for a victory over Anderlecht.The Istanbul side, which lost to Trabzonspor 3-0 at home on Saturday, is last in Group D with only one point in the competition.Many are blaming Prandelli for the loss, criticizing his decision to keep Wesley Sneijder out of the starting 11. Despite rumours of that he may be fired, Galatasaray has so far stood behind Prandelli.Such a score before the Anderlecht game was unfortunate but we will look ahead, said Hamdi Yasaman, the clubs deputy president.Prandelli, the former Italy coach, took charge of Galatasaray in July.

MIAMI -- Miami Dolphins safety Don Jones was fined an undisclosed amount Sunday and will undergo educational training after sending a negative tweet about Michael Sam, the first openly gay player to be selected in the NFL draft. Shortly after the St. Louis Rams took Sam in the seventh round Saturday, Jones tweeted "OMG" and "Horrible." The tweets were taken down a short time later. Jones apologized for his comments Sunday and described them as inappropriate. The Dolphins said Jones has been excused from all team activities until he completes training related to his comments. "We were disappointed to read Dons tweets," coach Joe Philbin said in a statement. "They were inappropriate and unacceptable, and we regret the negative impact these comments had on such an important weekend for the NFL. We met with Don today about respect, discrimination and judgment.dddddddddddd These comments are not consistent with the values and standards of our program." The Dolphins reacted swiftly to Jones comments in the wake of the teams bullying scandal last year, which embarrassed the NFL and prompted a nationwide debate about workplace harassment. Jones said he regretted that his tweets took away from Sams "draft moment." "I remember last year when I was drafted in the seventh round, and all of the emotions and happiness I felt when I received the call that gave me an opportunity to play for an NFL team, and I wish him all the best in his NFL career," Jones said in a statement. "I am committed to represent the values of the Miami Dolphins organization, and appreciate the opportunity I have been given to do so going forward." Jones agent, Chris Martin, could not be reached Sunday for comment. ' ' '
