Borussia Dortmund expected lineup for DFB-Pokal tie vs Wolfsburg

Expected Borussia Dortmund lineup vs VfL Wolfsburg

Goalkeeper: Gregor Kobel

In goal for Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday will be Gregor Kobel, who will hope for a much improved performance from those in front of him.

Defence: Emre Can, Nico Schlotterbeck, Ramy Bensebaini, Almugera Kabar

A decision on Borussia Dortmund's back four against Wolfsburg will only be made close to kick-off, as those in charge hope for Waldemar Anton to receive the all-clear.

But if Anton is unable to play, we could see a make-shift back four on Tuesday with one of Ramy Bensebaini and Filippo Mane quite possibly joining Nico Schlotterbeck at centre-back. The highly rated Mane has yet to make his first-team debut, and it remains to be seen if Nuri Sahin would slot him straight into the lineup for a must-win game.

The out-of-form Emre Can will likely start at right-back with both Yan Couto and Julian Ryerson expected to be unavailable.

If Bensebaini is needed as centre-back, the talented Almugera Kabar could start at left-back. The 18 year old was sent off on his Bundesliga debut at the weekend and will hope to make a better impression in the Pokal tie on Tuesday.
