Back Three: Lukasz Piszczek, Mats Hummels, Leonardo Balerdi

Borussia Dortmund saw Dan-Axel Zagadou return from injury last weekend, but he is not yet ready to start after a long injury lay-off. With Dortmund already having second place locked up, this is a great time to give Leonardo Balerdi his first start, and see what he can do in his natural centre-back position.

Lukasz Piszczek does not need to be used for what is a dead rubber for Borussia Dortmund. Regardless, Piszczek will likely see out the final game of the season alongside Mats Hummels. Piszczek and Hummels have both been excellent this season and will look to take that right through the end of the year.
