For most football fans, Marco Reus, Mats Hummels and Donyell Malen will sound very familiar. Trainer Edin Terzić therefore has a seasoned squad, which has been supplemented by an extraordinary amount of young talent. Read all about Borussia Dortmund's selection here.
Goalkeepers
The PSV opponent's selection features three goalkeepers: Alexander Meyer, Marcel Lotka and Gregor Kobel. The latter is the first choice under the Borussia Dortmund crossbar and the 26-year-old Swiss kept his goal clean six times in 19 appearances in the Bundesliga this season. In the UEFA Champions League, he recorded three clean sheets.
Rearguard
In recent matches, the German practice master preferred two types of formations, depending on the opponent: 4-2-2-2 and 4-2-3-1. In both cases, the defense consists of the same four names: Nico Schlotterbeck (24) and Niklas Süle (28) form the axis of the rear guard. And the sides are occupied by right back Julian Ryerson (26) and Dutch mercenary Ian Maatsen (21). He traded Chelsea FC this winter for an adventure in Germany, where he has missed only two minutes so far.
Midfield
The midfield in particular is subject to the changing lineup in terms of lineup. Nevertheless, Marcel Sabitzer (29) and Emre Can (30) seem to be the first choice at the six and eight positions. Marco Reus (34), who is now already in his eleventh year of contract, is usually given an attacking role in midfield.
Vanguard
Regardless of the lineup, Terziç invariably calls on Niclas Füllkrug (31), the club's top scorer in the German league this season, and Donyell Malen (25). Together they have scored as many as nine goals in the last five league games. Depending on the basic formation, Julian Brandt (27) will play in midfield or in attack. In addition, the coach has Jadon Sancho (23), who returned from Manchester United this winter.
Other options
Marius Wolf (28), Mateu Morey (23), Mats Hummels (35), Giovanni Reyna (21), Salih Özcan (26), Jamie Bynoe-Gittens (19), Youssoufa Moukoko (19), Hendry Blank (19) & Ole Pohlmann (22).
