BORUSSIA DORTMUND
Weidenfeller Piszczek, Subotic, Hummels, Schmelzer Gundogan, Kehl Blaszczykowski, Kagawa, Grosskreutz Lewandowski |
BORUSSIA MONCHENGLADBACH Ter Stegen Stranzl, Brouwers, Dante, Daems Herrmann, Nordtveit, Jantschke, Arango Reus, Hanke |
Julian Koch is the only absentee for Borussia Dortmund ahead of the clash with Lucien Favre's men. Germany international Mario Gotze is still working his way back to full fitness, but might play a role in the match at the Signal Iduna Park.
Robert Lewandowski is set to spearhead the attack, supported by an attacking trident of Jakub 'Kuba' Blaszczykowski, Shinji Kagawa and Kevin Grosskreutz.
Lucien Favre will have a near full-strength squad to choose from for Saturday's game, but there is a major question mark over the availability of star attacker Marco Reus, who picked up a knock on Friday. There is one definite absentee from the trainer's first choice XI, as Roman Neustadter is certain to miss the clash with an injury. Thorben Marx and Mathew Leckie are also out with knocks, while Igor de Camargo is suffering from flu and is rated doubtful.
