Bayer Leverkusen vs Borussia Dortmund: Expected starting lineup for Bundesliga clash
By Tushar Bahl
Midfield: Thomas Delaney, Jude Bellingham
Like in defence, Borussia Dortmund do not have too many available options in midfield. So we will likely see the pairing of Thomas Delaney and Jude Bellingham start against Bayer Leverkusen.
Delaney was rested on Saturday and should return to the starting XI in Emre Can’s absence as the holding midfielder. Bellingham was arguably Borussia Dortmund’s best player against Mainz and deserves to start on Tuesday.
Julian Brandt could also be in with a chance of starting in midfield, should Edin Terzic decide to rest Bellingham ahead of Friday’s game against Gladbach. While Mahmoud Dahoud will likely return to the squad after being dropped for the last two games.
