Midfielders: Salih Özcan, Jude Bellingham, Julian Brandt

Jude Bellingham should return to the starting XI after being given a breather on Wednesday. The England international has proven to be the difference maker time and time again for Borussia Dortmund this season. And he will have a key role to play once again on Saturday.

Salih Özcan has struggled to make an impact in recent weeks but will likely start again on Saturday as he is suspended for Tuesday’s game against Manchester City. Emre Can is the other defensive midfielder available to Edin Terzic, but he will likely start on the bench against Stuttgart.

Julian Brandt hasn’t been afforded much rest yet, and that is unlikely to change on Saturday due to the lack of available alternatives in the Borussia Dortmund squad.

Gio Reyna could potentially be an option depending on his fitness levels following his recent injury. The USMNT international enjoyed a fine cameo off the bench against Hannover 96.
