CONFIRMED Borussia Dortmund lineup for Bundesliga clash against Augsburg
By Tushar Bahl
Forwards: Marius Wolf, Marco Reus, Donyell Malen
Marco Reus recovered from his injury to return to the starting XI against Sporting CP on Tuesday. And he will lead the team once again on Saturday. The Borussia Dortmund captain hasn’t scored since the defeat to Bayern Munich in the DFL-Supercup in August. And he will want to change that against Augsburg.
Thorgan Hazard drops to the bench, with Marius Wolf getting a surprise start. The versatile wide player makes his first start for Borussia Dortmund since April 2019. He was sent off in that game (against Schalke 04), and he will be aiming to deliver a much better performance this time around.
Donyell Malen netted his first goal for Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday. And he will now be hungry for more. The Dutch international will start up front in the absence of Erling Haaland.
Youssoufa Moukoko, Ansgar Knauff and Reinier also start on the bench for Borussia Dortmund.
