Team News

Borussia Dortmund are close to welcoming back a number of key players, including Mats Hummels. However, it remains to be seen if any of the returnees will be fit enough to play from the start on Saturday. The likelihood is that we will see a similar starting XI to the one that took to the pitch against Bayern on Tuesday. Thorgan Hazard remains out for now with an ankle injury.

SC Freiburg will have new signing Maximilian Eggestein in the squad, but record goalscorer Nils Petersen is out with an injury. Lucas Höler is expected to lead the Freiburg attack, alongside Vincenzo Grifo and Roland Sallai.

Expected Line-ups

SC Freiburg: Flekken – Lienhart, Heintz, Schlotterbeck – Schmid, Keitel, Höfler, Günter (c) – Sallai, Grifo – Höler

Borussia Dortmund: Kobel – Passlack, Witsel, Akanji, Schulz – Dahoud, Bellingham, Reyna – Reus – Malen, Haaland
