Expected Borussia Dortmund lineup vs FC Augsburg

Goalkeeper: Gregor Kobel

Kobel will line up in goal for Borussia Dortmund on Saturday and will hope for a rather quiet afternoon against the struggling FC Augsburg.

Defence: Julian Ryerson, Waldemar Anton, Nico Schlotterbeck, Ramy Bensebaini

Borussia Dortmund will desperately hope that Ryerson can overcome his minor injury and play from the start against Augsburg at right-back.

With Niklas Süle injured, Nuri Sahin has only two senior centre-backs to count on. Anton and Schlotterbeck will line up in central defence for Borussia Dortmund this weekend. The former was afforded a bit of a breather on Tuesday as he started on the bench against Real Madrid. He will hope to deliver a much better performance than he did off the bench in Spain.

Bensebaini has shown encouraging signs in recent weeks, even if he struggled in the second-half against Real Madrid, much like the rest of the team. The Algerian international will start at left-back against Augsburg.
