Team News: Marvin Ducksch handed Borussia Dortmund start

Ducksch handed Dortmund start

Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp has sprung a surprise in his starting lineup away to Nuremberg, with Marvin Ducksch selected up front instead of Robert Lewandowski.

The Polish striker, who netted twice in the side's 6-2 win over Hamburger SV last weekend, is on the bench, while there is also a start for Erik Durm in defence.

Durm's inclusion is in place of Nuri Sahin, who is on the bench, and means that Kevin Grosskreutz moves into defensive midfield alongside Sven Bender.

It is more familiar from the hosts, as Hiroshi Kiyotake and Adam Hlousek are selected on either flank in support of striker Daniel Ginczek.

Nuremberg: Schafer; Chandler, Nilsson, Pogatetz, Plattenhardt; Hasebe, Stark, Frantz; Kiyotake, Hlousek, Ginczek

Dortmund: Weidenfeller; Durm, Subotic, Sokratis, Schmelzer; Bender, Grosskreutz; Blaszczykowski, Reus, Aubameyang; Ducksch
