The big news coming out of the Borussia Dortmund camp is that ace striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is not going to start in the match against Hannover 96. In his place, it seems that Marco Reus would be operating up front in the ‘false 9’ role.
Manager Thomas Tuchel has made three changes to his starting XI, with Neven Subotic coming in for Sokratis Papastathopoulosin the centre of the defence, and Shinji Kagawa and Gonzalo Castro replacing Erik Durm and Aubameyang. Here is Borussia Dortmund’s confirmed lineup.
