Borussia Dortmund have received a major boost ahead of Friday night's blockbuster Bundesliga showdown with Eintracht Frankfurt, as head coach Niko Kovac welcomes three key players back from injury.
Niklas Süle, Felix Nmecha, and Karim Adeyemi have all been cleared for action and are included in BVB's squad for the highly anticipated clash at Signal Iduna Park, as reported by Ruhr Nachrichten.
Kovac had already confirmed at his Thursday press conference that Adeyemi would return to the fold, while hinting that late calls would be made on Nmecha and Süle. Now, all three are ready to make their mark.
There's an extra layer of emotion surrounding Süle's potential appearance. The defender announced on Thursday that he will retire from professional football at the end of the season, meaning this could be one of his final chances to wear the famous black and yellow in front of the Yellow Wall.
Here's the full Borussia Dortmund squad set to take on Eintracht Frankfurt:
Defenders: Nico Schlotterbeck, Waldemar Anton, Niklas Süle, Luca Reggiani, Yan Couto, Julian Ryerson, Daniel Svensson
Midfielders: Felix Nmecha, Jobe Bellingham, Carney Chukwuemeka, Marcel Sabitzer, Salih Özcan, Julian Brandt, Samuele Inácio
Forwards: Karim Adeyemi, Maximilian Beier, Serhou Guirassy, Fábio Silva
With a full-strength squad at his disposal, Kovac will be hoping to secure a vital victory that keeps BVB's Champions League qualification hopes alive. For fans heading to Signal Iduna Park or watching from home, this is a lineup that promises plenty of attacking flair and defensive solidity.
