Borussia Dortmund expected lineup for RB Leipzig clash
By Tushar Bahl
Borussia Dortmund will take on RB Leipzig in this weekend’s Bundesliga topspiel with both pressure and injuries piling up.
After being knocked out of the DFB-Pokal on Tuesday, Borussia Dortmund will hope to find their way back to form against RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga this weekend. Another tough awaits them, although this time at home, where they have won all their matches so far this season.
Nuri Sahin is under increasing pressure, with some fans already calling for him to be sacked. And he is facing an injury crisis ahead of the game, with Gregor Kobel joining the already long injury list. Waldemar Anton is the only player from that list who could possibly return to the squad on Saturday. But he too is a major doubt.
Here is how Borussia Dortmund could line up for their Bundesliga match against RB Leipzig on Saturday evening.
Goalkeeper: Alexander Meyer
With Kobel injured, Alexander Meyer will start between the sticks for what will be his second appearance of the season. The Borussia Dortmund second-choice goalkeeper has been reliable when called upon and will hope to deliver a strong performance against Leipzig.
