Expected Borussia Dortmund lineup for FC Augsburg clash
By Tushar Bahl
Midfield: Pascal Groß, Felix Nmecha, Julian Brandt
Nuri Sahin has some big calls to make in midfield. Emre Can and Pascal Groß both started on the bench on Tuesday, and it will be interesting to see if they return to the starting XI in Augsburg. The BVB captain has been struggling for form and may find himself on the bench again.
Groß could replace Marcel Sabitzer in the starting XI, having established himself as a key player for Borussia Dortmund since his move from Brighton & Hove Albion.
Felix Nmecha impressed in the first-half against Real Madrid and will hope to keep his place in the starting XI. The 24 year old has struggled for consistency since joining Borussia Dortmund and will look to change that in the coming weeks.
Julian Brandt appears to be finding his form and will once again start in attacking midfield unless Sahin decides to give him a breather ahead of next week's games against Wolfsburg and RB Leipzig.
