Jude Bellingham is set to make his return to the starting XI as Borussia Dortmund take on Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga on Sunday.
Borussia Dortmund will go up against Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga on Sunday in what should be another thrilling game between the two sides. There will be a plethora of attacking talent on display at the BayArena on Sunday. And both teams will be eager to get the three points.
The Black and Yellows are set to welcome Jude Bellingham back into the starting XI on Sunday after the England international missed Wednesday’s trip to Mainz due to suspension. Marco Reus could also return to the squad after recovering from the illness that forced him to miss the last two games.
Edin Terzic may look to make a few tweaks to the side that narrowly beat Mainz on Wednesday. Gregor Kobel will start in goal, with Julian Ryerson and Raphael Guerreiro set to play as the two full-backs.
We could see Mats Hummels make his return to the starting XI on Sunday, with Niklas Süle starting alongside him. Nico Schlotterbeck could be given a breather after starting against Augsburg and Mainz.
Jude Bellingham will start in the number eight role, with Salih Özcan providing cover in defensive midfield. Julian Brandt is in fine form at the moment, and will be determined to put in another strong performance against his former club.
In attack, Gio Reyna could get his opportunity in the starting XI after scoring the winner off the bench in Borussia Dortmund’s last two games. Karim Adeyemi caused Bayer Leverkusen a lot of problems in the reverse fixture and could start on the right wing on Sunday. Jamie Bynoe-Gittens could also be an option after coming off the bench in the last two games.
Youssoufa Moukoko will likely start up front for Borussia Dortmund against Bayer Leverkusen as he looks to score his first goal of the calendar year.
