Borussia Dortmund only have one player who will definitely miss the game – Marcel Schmelzer. Dan-Axel Zagadou is back in training but the game will likely come too early for him. There could be a debut though, for Youssoufa Moukoko, who will become eligible to play in the Bundesliga after turning 16 on Friday.
Erling Haaland and Raphael Guerreiro should also be available despite having to deal with quarantine and a muscle injury respectively in recent days.
Hertha Berlin will be without key striker Jhon Córdoba, who suffered an ankle injury earlier this month. Krzysztof Piatek could start in his stead. Jordan Torunarigha is back from quarantine and in training but it remains to be seen if he will start on Saturday.
Expected Line-ups
Hertha Berlin: Schwolow – Pekarik, Boyata (c), Alderete, Plattenhardt – Darida, Stark, Guendouzi – Cunha, Lukebakio – Piatek
Borussia Dortmund: Bürki – Meunier, Akanji, Hummels, Guerreiro – Witsel, Dahoud – Sancho, Reus, Reyna – Haaland
