Borussia Dortmund squad depth analysis: Midfielders

Following the close of the summer transfer window, we take a look at Borussia Dortmund’s squad depth for the 2022/2023 season. Several players will be crucial to the success of the team, and there are some who could share time with the first team and the U-23s. There are also a few “sleeper” players who we think will end up being essential parts of the BVB team. 

The midfield is quite possibly the most important area on the pitch. If teams can control the action in the middle of the park, they usually increase their chances for success tremendously. The players in the midfield for Borussia Dortmund will be vital to the success of the team this campaign, and no doubt many of them will be looking to make their mark throughout the year.

There weren’t many changes made in midfield through this transfer window. Only one new signing was brought in, indicating that Sebastian Kehl and the BVB brass feel the players currently on the books are more than capable of getting the job done.

This article will analyze BVB’s depth in midfield, starting with the team’s attacking midfielders and finishing up with those playing in central and defensive midfield.

As with the previous article, we have included in the end our candidates for this position group’s “sleeper” player and the potential big performer. So, let’s get to it!
