Borussia Dortmund – LLLDW – 11th: Mike Tullberg will have to make do without a few key players on the trip to Heidenheim. Niklas Süle remains out with his ankle injury, while Felix Nmecha is expected to miss several weeks from the knee injury he sustained last weekend. Tullberg will have to use a makeshift backline as well since Nico Schlotterbeck is unavailable due to red card suspension. One player who could be available from the bench is Salih Özcan, who has been recalled from his loan to Wolfsburg.
