20th matchday
Sinsheim (AP) – Coach Marco Rose switched the Borussia Dortmund team to three positions four days after the DFB Cup.
Mahmoud Dahoud, Marius Wolf and Donyell Malen are back in the first eleven for today’s Bundesliga game at TSG 1899 Hoffenheim on Saturday (3:30 p.m. / Sky). For this, Axel Witsel and Thorgan Hazard initially sit on the bench.
Right-back Thomas Meunier is out due to muscular problems. BVB lost 2-1 at second division FC St. Pauli on Tuesday and was surprisingly eliminated as the defending champion.
At Hoffenheim, captain Benjamin Hübner celebrates his comeback in the starting XI after more than a year and a half and serious injuries. The 32-year-old was substituted on for the first time during the week. Croatian World Cup runner-up Andrej Kramaric, who was still on the bench in the 4-1 draw against Freiburg in the cup, is back in the starting eleven. Youngster Georginio Rutter is initially sitting outside.
