Borussia Dortmund will take on Hamburger SV in a Bundesliga clash on Saturday at Signal Iduna Park.
Niko Kovac’s side is currently second in the league standings with 58 points from 26 matches, trailing leaders Bayern Munich by nine points.
Dortmund have struggled for consistency recently, failing to win three of their last five matches across all competitions. They suffered consecutive defeats against Atalanta and Bayern Munich but responded well with back-to-back Bundesliga victories, beating Köln 2-1 and Augsburg 1-0.
Borussia Dortmund team news
Dortmund are dealing with several injury concerns ahead of this fixture, which has affected their squad availability.
Captain Emre Can has been ruled out for the rest of the season after sustaining a cruciate ligament injury, dealing a major setback to the team given his influence and experience.
Filippo Mane is also unavailable due to a thigh problem. In the previous match, both Serhou Guirassy and Julian Brandt were only introduced late on as substitutes, but they are expected to return to the starting lineup for this game. Karim Adeyemi could drop to the bench as a result.
Daniel Svensson suffered an ankle injury against Augsburg and had to be taken off, leaving him doubtful for the upcoming match. If he is unavailable, Yan Couto is likely to step in and replace him.
