CONFIRMED Borussia Dortmund lineup for Mainz 05 clash: Erling Haaland starts

Erling Haaland is back in the Borussia Dortmund starting XI for their Bundesliga clash against Mainz 05. Thomas Meunier and Manuel Akanji also start 

Borussia Dortmund go up against Mainz 05 this weekend in what should be another captivating Bundesliga contest. The Black and Yellows go into the game in fine form, having lost just one of their last seven games. But Mainz have also made a strong start to the season and will look to make things difficult for their opponents on Saturday.

Borussia Dortmund’s bad luck with injuries continued over the international break as a number of players had to leave their national teams early after picking up injuries. Raphael Guerreiro, Mahmoud Dahoud, Gio Reyna and Youssoufa Moukoko will miss the game against Mainz.

Here we take a look at how Borussia Dortmund will line up for their Bundesliga clash against Mainz 05.

Goalkeeper: Gregor Kobel

Gregor Kobel will start between the sticks as he looks to build on his excellent start to the season. The Swiss goalkeeper has hardly put a foot wrong so far, and he will be aiming to keep his first Bundesliga clean sheet in BVB colours this weekend.
