Serhou Guirassy - Starting Sunday Guirassy (concussion) is in the starting XI for Sunday's clash with Freiburg.

Impact Guirassy is back in the starting XI for Sunday's clash after overcoming a concussion. He trained on Friday but was still a major doubt for Sunday's clash. It turns out that was too pessimistic as he's now back fit and starting. Fabio Silva is on the bench with Guirassy starting.

Karim Adeyemi - Muscular problems still unresolved Adeyemi continues to manage his muscular problems and remains unavailable, according to coach Niko Kovac, per Ruhr 24.

Impact Adeyemi had been ruled out of the Hoffenheim fixture and his muscular issues have clearly not resolved in the days since, extending his absence into the upcoming fixture. The forward has mainly been a rotational option for Dortmund this season, so his continued absence has a limited impact on the starting lineup, with Julian Brandt and Carney Chukwuemeka continuing to absorb larger roles in the attack while the club monitors his progress ahead of the final stretch of the campaign.

Serhou Guirassy - Trains Friday, still doubtful Guirassy (concussion) returned to team training Friday but remains a doubt for Sunday's clash against Freiburg, according to coach Niko Kovac, per Ruhr 24.

Impact Guirassy had been unable to train before Friday after sustaining a concussion during Saturday's loss at Hoffenheim, where he remarkably powered through the knock to score the equalizer before being assessed by the medical staff. His return to the training pitch is a significant relief for Dortmund heading into the weekend, and the club will make a final call on his squad inclusion after the medical department signs off on his condition. Fabio Silva remains on standby if any last-minute concerns prevent Guirassy from being cleared.

Serhou Guirassy - Follows concussion protocols Guirassy sustained a concussion during Saturday's 2-1 loss at Hoffenheim and has been unable to train since, leaving his availability for Sunday's clash against Freiburg very much...

Impact Guirassy took a knock from Ozan Kabak in the 84th minute before remarkably going on to score the equalizer, but the concussion has prevented him from taking part in either of the two training sessions since the game. The club will make a final call on his squad inclusion later in the week after the medical department assesses his condition, with Fabio Silva the most likely candidate to lead the line if Guirassy cannot be cleared in time for Sunday's fixture.

Niklas Sule - Injury confirmed minor Sule suffered a minor knee injury during Saturday's clash against Hoffenheim and will need a rest period before returning, but is expected to be available for the final stretch of...

Impact Sule had feared the worst after being forced off before halftime with a bandaged knee, but the medical examinations delivered a significant relief for both player and club. The center-back will observe a period of rest before being gradually reintegrated, sparing Dortmund what could have been a serious defensive blow in the final weeks of the campaign. Ramy Bensebaini is expected to cover in the back line during his absence while Sule works his way back to full fitness for the final stretch of the campaign.

Julian Ryerson - 13 crosses in away loss Ryerson registered 13 crosses (three accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 2-1 defeat versus Hoffenheim. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 97th minute.

Impact Ryerson was unable to provide an assist as Borussia Dortmund lost 2-1 to Hoffenheim. So far this season, he has provided 12 assists in 27 games. He has provided one assist in the last eight games. Of his 13 crosses, he completed three in this game and created two chances. This was the sixth time this season in the Bundesliga that he has attempted 13 or more crosses.

Ramy Bensebaini - Assists in 2-1 loss Bensebaini assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Hoffenheim.

Impact Bensebaini assisted Serhou Guirassy in the 87th minute to bring the game back level at 1-1 before Hoffenheim scored a 95th-minute penalty. This was his first assist of the season, having also scored four goals this season. He provided an assist with his only chance created in the game, and this was his eighth game this season in which he has created a chance.

Serhou Guirassy - Scores late in defeat as sub Guirassy scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Hoffenheim.

Impact Guirassy came on as a sub with 30 minutes to go and thought he had done enough to earn a draw against Hoffenheim. Hoffenheim, however, went on to score a winner from the penalty spot in the 95th minute. This was his 14th goal of the season in the Bundesliga, having also scored four goals in the Champions League. The goal came from his only shot on target after he came on as a sub.

Gregor Kobel - Two saves in 2-1 defeat Kobel recorded two saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-1 defeat versus Hoffenheim.

Impact Kobel made two saves as his side fell to a 2-1 defeat away to Hoffenheim. In 30 games this season in the Bundesliga, he has kept 13 clean sheets this season. He had kept a clean sheet in his last away match before this. He has made at least two saves in each of the last eight games, conceding two or more in four of those matches.

Impact Sule injured his knee in the first half of Saturday's clash against Hoffenheim and the images didn't look good, although the full extent of the damage is pending further medical assessment. Sule is an experienced defensive presence for Dortmund and his potential absence for the final stretch of the season would be a significant blow, with Ramy Bensebaini expected to take on a larger role in the back line while the club awaits clarity on the situation. Further updates are expected once the results of any scans are confirmed.

Filippo Mane - Makes bench Saturday Mane (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Hoffenheim.

Impact Mane progressed from partial training sessions to full team participation in recent weeks, earning a spot in the squad after coach Niko Kovac confirmed he was fit. The young defender had been able to take part in full team sessions only this week, making his return a positive step forward. He figures to slot into a rotational role rather than pushing for an immediate starting spot, adding useful defensive cover for Dortmund in the final stretch of the Bundesliga season.

Hoffenheim vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction and Betting Tips | April 18th 2026 Hoffenheim will host Borussia Dortmund at PreZero Arena in the Bundesliga on Saturday. Dortmund are second in the standings, and the hosts are in sixth place.

Karim Adeyemi - Suffers muscular problems Adeyemi (undisclosed) is ruled out of Saturday's clash against Hoffenheim due to muscular problems, according to coach Niko Kovac, per Ruhr 24. "Karim has muscular problems."

Impact Adeyemi has mainly operated as a rotational option for Dortmund this season, so his absence is unlikely to significantly disrupt the starting lineup. Julian Brandt is expected to absorb a larger role in the attack in his place, with the club hoping the muscular issue proves minor enough to allow a swift return in the coming fixtures.

Filippo Mane - Training well, should return Mane (undisclosed) has been training well in recent weeks and should be in contention for Saturday's clash against Hoffenheim, according to coach Niko Kovac, per Ruhr 24. "Filippo...

Impact Mane had been limited to partial training sessions when last mentioned, unable to participate in full team sessions ahead of the Leverkusen fixture. His progression to full team training since then is a positive step forward and gives coach Kovac an additional defensive depth option to call upon at the weekend if cleared. The young defender figures to slot into a rotational role rather than pushing for an immediate starting spot, but his availability adds useful cover for Dortmund in the final stretch of the Bundesliga season.

Yan Couto - Option against Hoffenheim Couto (muscular) has recovered from the issue that ruled him out of last weekend's clash against Leverkusen and is available for Saturday's fixture against Hoffenheim, according to...

Impact Couto had been sidelined after failing to recover in time for the Leverkusen fixture, but his return to the fold is a welcome boost for Dortmund heading into the weekend. The Brazilian has started 11 of his 17 Bundesliga appearances this season and should push to compete for a starting role in upcoming fixtures. Getting him back gives coach Kovac more defensive options as Dortmund push through the final fixtures of the campaign.
