Team News: Jakub Blaszczykowski returns to Borussia Dortmund lineup

Jakub Blaszczykowski has returned to the Borussia Dortmund starting lineup after recovering from an ankle injury.

The Polish attacker will start against Greuther Furth in the Bundesliga this afternoon alongside Sven Bender, Ilkay Gundogan and Ivan Perisic, who starts despite being criticised by coach Jurgen Klopp for his outburst in midweek.

Defender Lasse Sobiech makes his first start for Greuther and replaces the suspended Thomas Kleine.

The 21-year-old is currently on loan at the newly-promoted Bundesliga club from reigning German champions Dortmund.
