Defenders: Thomas Meunier, Manuel Akanji, Mats Hummels, Nico Schulz

Borussia Dortmund will welcome Mats Hummels back into the starting XI after the experienced defender missed the Sporting CP game due to suspension. He will replace Marin Pongracic.

Manuel Akanji has without a doubt been Borussia Dortmund’s best defender so far this season. And he will want to keep his form going this weekend.

Thomas Meunier will start at right-back once again, but it remains to be seen if Raphael Guerreiro will be fit in time to feature. The Portuguese international had to drop out of the starting XI against Sporting CP after experiencing muscular problems during the warm-up.

Nico Schulz came into the starting XI for Guerreiro and had a torrid time before being replaced by Emre Can at half time. With Can likely to be needed in midfield, it is quite possible that we will see Schulz again in the starting XI.
