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

Right Wing-Back: Thomas Meunier
Thomas Meunier joined Borussia Dortmund on a free transfer from Paris St. Germain this summer, and will replace Achraf Hakimi in the squad. The hope is that the experienced right-back will offer the team more defensive stability, something that often seemed to be missing with Hakimi in the team.
Meunier is capable of playing both at right back and at right wing-back, although he has had more success playing in the latter role for the Belgian national team.
He showed glimpses of his quality going forward in the two pre-season games in Bad Ragaz, but suffered an injury soon after. But he should be fit in time for the start of the new season.
Meunier will be Borussia Dortmund’s first choice right wing-back, at least for the start of the season. And with Mateu Morey showing great potential, Lucien Favre will have two solid options at right wing-back to deal with the congested fixture list.
