Team News: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang returns for Dortmund

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been named in Borussia Dortmund's first XI for the Bundesliga visit of Hertha Berlin at Signal Iduna Park this afternoon.

The Gabon striker sat out Thursday's 7-2 rout of Odd in the Europa League, but he returns this afternoon as one of two changes made by Thomas Tuchel.

Aubameyang displaces Jonas Hofmann as the spearhead, while goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller drops out for Roman Burki.

Meanwhile, Pal Dardai has made two changes to his starting lineup from the 1-1 draw with Werder Bremen last time out.

Jens Hegeler and Salomon Kalou make way for John Brooks and Johannes van den Bergh respectively.

Borussia Dortmund: Burki; Ginter, Sokratis, Hummels, Schmelzer; Weigl; Reus, Gundogan, Kagawa, Mkhitaryan; Aubameyang

Hertha Berlin: Kraft; Pekarik, Langkamp, Plattenhardt, Brooks; Skjebred, Darida, Stocker, Van Den Bergh, Lustenberger; Haraguchi
