Borussia Dortmund will be in Bundesliga action on Wednesday evening as they take on Mainz 05 in their rearranged fixture.

Borussia Dortmund face a crunch game against Mainz 05 on Wednesday as they look to claw their way back into the Bundesliga title race.

Bayern Munich’s lead at the top of the table looked to be unassailable just a couple of weeks ago. But suddenly, the Black and Yellows have the opportunity to go just four points behind their rivals and heap some pressure back on Julian Nagelsmann’s side.

Borussia Dortmund will again be without Marco Reus, Manuel Akanji, Raphael Guerreiro, Thomas Meunier, Youssoufa Moukoko, Dan-Axel Zagadou and Steffen Tigges on Wednesday. But Mats Hummels could make his return to the squad.

Goalkeeper: Gregor Kobel
