Defence: Lukasz Piszczek, Manuel Akanji, Mats Hummels

Dortmund could be forced into a change in formation with Zagadou not in the squad. Zagadou’s absence is a big blow to Borussia Dortmund, since he has been in excellent form since his return to the starting XI.

Manuel Akanji and Mats Hummels have been the go to in central defence this season, and will definitely be in the line-up. If Favre keeps his three at the back formation, Lukasz Piszczek or Leonardo Balerdi could come into the team.
