Match will be played behind closed doors

Due to the continued spread of Coronavirus (Covid-19), match will be played behind closed doors

Five substitutions can be made

Wout Weghorst will be back after his suspension, otherwise there are no major changes in the squad. We’ve got another training session tomorrow. Josuha Guilavogui will miss out again, although he’s already completed parts of team training this week without problems and we have high hopes that he’ll be available following the midweek programme.” - said head coach about the condition of players

Oliver Glasner: “As we do in every match, we’ll defend as a team and try to restrict the space. We can only get to grips with Dortmund’s pace in attack as a team. We managed that very well at Augsburg, where we only allowed one shot on target from open play. The quality of BVB’s attacking players is certainly among the best we’ll face in the Bundesliga, and it will be a test of how much we can defend as a team. Erling Haaland is the burly, robust type of centre-forward that Dortmund were seeking for a long time and hadn’t found. He’s gained a lot of confidence over the last six months. I’ve never said we’re underdogs and also never said we’re favourites. I don’t think much of this designation of roles. We’re going into the game to win it and will give everything we’ve got to do that. It doesn’t matter what match it is, whether it’s home or away.”

Neither club captain Josuha Guilavogui or Yannick Gerhardt will be fit to return for this one.

Wolfsburg are unbeaten in seven Bundesliga matches;

Wolfsburg have scored six but conceded eight headed goals during the Rückrunde.

Wolfsburg's 11-goal top scorer Weghorst is yet to score or register a win in three Bundesliga meetings with Dortmund (all defeats).

Captain Reus has likely joined Dan-Axel Zagadou in being ruled out for the rest of the season.

Gio Reyna - who pulled up injured in the warm-up last week having been due to make his first Bundesliga start - also sat out of training.

Dortmund have won eight of nine in 2020.

Dortmund have won their last four in Wolfsburg; the Wolves have never lost five in a row to one opposition.

BVB had scored 66 goals at this juncture last season. They've hit a club-record 72, 26 matches into 2019/20.

The Black-Yellows are the only Bundesliga teams this term with three players on double figures for goals: Haaland (10), Reus (11) and Sancho (14).

The list of absentees appears to be shortening ahead of the trip to Wolfsburg and the first "English week" since the resumption of the Bundesliga. "Emre Can and Gio Reyna trained fully today. They'll be involved," announced head coach Lucien Favre prior to the final training session on Friday.

The quartet of Axel Witsel, Dan-Axel Zagadou, Nico Schulz and Marco Reus will still be unavailable for the match in Wolfsburg - reported by the official website of BVB
