How Borussia Dortmund could line up this season with Erling Haaland and Jadon Sancho leading the line

Left Forward: Marco Reus
Just a few weeks ago, few would have expected Marco Reus to be ready in time for the start of the new season. But the Borussia Dortmund captain is back in action, and looks set to make his long awaited return after six months out with injury.
Obviously, it will be important to manage his fitness with almost every week being an ‘English week’ this season. But when Reus is fit and firing, there are few players in the Bundesliga who are capable of making more of an impact than him.
Reus was on course for a 20 goal campaign before suffering an adductor injury in February. It may take him a couple of weeks to return to full match fitness. But he will without a doubt be one of the first names on the team sheet when fully fit.
The 31 year old will likely feature in the second striker role, which has seen him play some of his best football under Lucien Favre. And in games where he needs to rest, one of Gio Reyna or Reinier Jesus could replace him in the starting XI.
