Borussia Dortmund XI vs Augsburg – Predicted lineup and team news
Dortmund Team News
Head coach Niko Kovač will welcome the return of Ramy Bensebaini, who has recovered from a back issue that kept him out of the recent DFB Pokal clash against Eintracht Frankfurt. After training without restrictions on Thursday, the centre-back is back in contention and strengthens Dortmund’s defensive lineup.
On the flip side, Niklas Süle remains a possible absentee due to a swollen toe, continuing a period of injury troubles for the seasoned defender. The squad will also be without Emre Can and Julien Duranville, both of whom are still sidelined as they work through ongoing adductor and shoulder problems.
Despite these setbacks, Kovač reassured fans that the rest of the team is ready to feature, highlighting the depth in his squad to handle these challenges.
Borussia Dortmund head into this match with strong confidence, having secured three back-to-back wins across various competitions. Their latest triumph was a hard-fought 1-0 victory against FC Köln, thanks to a last-minute goal from Maximilian Beier that showcased their resilience. Additionally, they advanced to the Round of 16 in the DFB Pokal after a tense penalty shootout against Eintracht Frankfurt midweek.
Borussia Dortmund Predicted Lineup
Possible Borussia Dortmund starting XI: Kobel; Bensebaini, Schlotterbeck, Anton; Svensson, Nmecha, Gross, Ryerson; Chukwuemeka, Adeyemi; Guirassy.
