BVB coach Niko Kovač has rested Ramy Bensebaini and Serhou Guirassy for the Klassiker, explaining the call before kick-off.

According to BuLi News, the release of the starting XIs for Borussia Dortmund versus Bayern Munich prompted questions.

He noted it is Lent for Serhou and Ramy, that they have been fasting for two weeks, and that Dortmund have already played four matches in this period.

With the pair on the bench, Kovač has started Schlotterbeck and Silva.

The duo could be used later against Bayern Munich.
