Expected Borussia Dortmund lineup vs Union Berlin as injuries mount in attack
By Tushar Bahl
Midfield: Emre Can, Pascal Groß, Felix Nmecha
Injuries in attack could prompt Nuri Sahin to make a few tweaks to his midfield. If Julian Brandt is asked to play further forward, Felix Nmecha could be an option for the starting XI. The former Wolfsburg midfielder has scored off the bench in the last two games and will hope to play from the start on Saturday.
Marcel Sabitzer could also be an option for a role in midfield or the front three. But the Austrian international has not enjoyed the best of starts to the season, after being played out of position in the opening matches.
Emre Can is finding his form and has been scoring penalties for fun of late. He will hope to continue that run against Union Berlin. Partnering the BVB captain in defensive midfield will likely be the ever-reliable Pascal Groß.
