Defensive midfield: Felix Nmecha - Nmecha made the most of his first ever start for Germany as he scored against Hungary earlier this week. Now he will look to build on that and continue his strong run of form in the number six role for Borussia Dortmund.
Central Midfield: Pascal Groß - Nmecha could have a new midfield partner on Saturday with Groß no longer required to fill in at right-back. The former Brighton man will hope to showcase his ability to dictate proceedings against a Freiburg side that will likely defend deep.
Attacking midfield: Julian Brandt - Having struggled for consistency so far this season, Brandt will look to find the next gear in the coming weeks and lead the charge for Borussia Dortmund. He will have a crucial role to play as the number ten against Freiburg.
