Expected Borussia Dortmund lineup for Besiktas clash
By Tushar Bahl
Forwards: Reinier, Marco Reus, Donyell Malen, Steffen Tigges
Gio Reyna is still unavailable, Thorgan Hazard only just returned to training on Monday, and Erling Haaland is highly unlikely to play from the start. So we will see a lot of changes in the forward positions as well.
Donyell Malen is set to make his return to the starting XI against Besiktas after coming off the bench on Saturday. The Netherlands international has scored in each of his last three starts for Borussia Dortmund. And he will be determined to keep that run going on Tuesday.
Reinier has been limited to a sporadic role so far this season. But he could also be given a chance to play from the start on Tuesday. The Brazilian forward has yet to really make his mark at Borussia Dortmund. And a good performance against Besiktas could go a long way in helping him find some confidence.
Marco Reus could keep his place in the starting XI with not a lot of other alternatives in the side. And Steffen Tigges could lead the attack with Youssoufa Moukoko injured and Erling Haaland likely to be rested. Ansgar Knauff is another player who could be given a chance on Tuesday.
