Defenders: Thomas Meunier, Mats Hummels, Nico Schlotterbeck, Raphael Guerreiro

Borussia Dortmund managed to keep a clean sheet last weekend, but concerns remain about their back-line. Edin Terzic is unlikely to make any alterations for Friday’s game though, with Niklas Süle still sidelined due to his thigh injury.

Thomas Meunier will be especially pleased with Anthony Modeste’s arrival, as it means that Borussia Dortmund have a striker again who can get on the end of the Belgian international’s crosses into the box.

Mats Hummels and Nico Schlotterbeck looked composed and solid for the most part against Bayer Leverkusen. And they will be keen to pick up right where they left off. Freiburg showed their attacking prowess last weekend as they beat FC Augsburg 4-0. So Borussia Dortmund cannot afford to have any defensive lapses.

Raphael Guerreiro will start at left-back, looking to deliver a more complete performance than he did last weekend.
