Borussia Dortmund vs RB Leipzig – Predicted lineup and team news

Borussia Dortmund Team News

Niko Kovac’s squad remains largely stable, although several key players are sidelined. Captain Emre Can (groin), winger Julien Duranville (shoulder), and centre-back Aaron Anselmino (muscle) are all out but are expected to rejoin the team after the international break.

Kovac has also hinted that a final decision regarding Serhou Guirassy’s involvement is pending, after his recent return from injury; Fabio Silva is on standby as an alternative strike option.

Julian Brandt returned to the pitch with a goal off the bench following a minor wrist injury in September, while Nico Schlotterbeck has played back-to-back games following his recovery from a serious knee injury.

The depth of Dortmund’s squad has been a key talking point for Kovac, who has praised the team’s ability to rotate effectively amid a busy fixture schedule.
