Forwards: Julian Brandt, Jadon Sancho, Thorgan Hazard
Erling Haaland returned to training on Thursday, but it is highly unlikely that he will be ready in time to start on Saturday. So the front three should remain unchanged from last weekend’s thrashing of Paderborn.
Julian Brandt will likely start in the floating number ten role, with Thorgan Hazard playing up front as the false nine. Both Brandt and Hazard come into this game in impressive form, and will be looking to keep that run going this weekend.
Next. Bundesliga Team of the Season so far. dark
Jadon Sancho will complete the front three, fresh after scoring his first career hat-trick. The Englishman looked unstoppable at times against Paderborn, and Borussia Dortmund fans will be hoping to see more of the same from their star man against Hertha Berlin.
