Forwards: Jadon Sancho, Marco Reus, Gio Reyna, Thorgan Hazard

Erling Haaland’s injury means that Thorgan Hazard comes into the starting XI. The Belgian international hasn’t started too many games in recent weeks, but hopefully he will be ready to go from the off.

Jadon Sancho has scored in all four of Borussia Dortmund’s DFB-Pokal games so far this season. And he will no doubt be looking to find the back of the net once again this weekend to lead Dortmund to the Pokal final.

Marco Reus has been finding his form of late, and could be a candidate to start up top in Haaland’s absence. Gio Reyna also keeps his spot in the starting XI, having impressed in recent games.

Haaland’s injury is a big blow for Borussia Dortmund, especially with Youssoufa Moukoko also injured. It will be interesting to see which player starts in the false nine role.
