CONFIRMED Borussia Dortmund lineup for VfL Bochum clash
By Tushar Bahl
Midfielders: Emre Can, Mahmoud Dahoud, Jude Bellingham
Emre Can is available again after missing Tuesday’s game due to suspension. He will slot straight back into the starting XI in place of Axel Witsel in the number six role. Witsel drops to the bench with Can back in the lineup.
Mahmoud Dahoud also starts in midfield, fresh after his impressive performance against Besiktas that saw him set up three of the five goals. The German international has hardly put a foot wrong since his return from injury. And he will be looking to keep his impressive run of form going this weekend.
Jude Bellingham will share the number eight duties with Mahmoud Dahoud. The 18 year old has been one of Borussia Dortmund’s top performers this season. His performance in the middle of the park will again be crucial to Dortmund’s hopes of finding their way past the Bochum defence.
