Team News: Shinji Kagawa returns to Borussia Dortmund side against Mainz 05

Shinji Kagawa returns to the Borussia Dortmund team for the Bundesliga meeting with Mainz 05.

Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp has welcomed Shinji Kagawa back into the side for Saturday's Bundesliga clash with Mainz 05.

Kagawa was left on the bench in the 2-0 victory over Arsenal in the Champions League on Tuesday, but is preferred to Henrikh Mkhitaryan in an attacking-midfield role.

Ciro Immobile, who scored the first of Dortmund's goals against Arsenal, also drops to the bench to make way for Adrian Ramos.

There is no room for either Niko Bungert or Koo Ja-Cheol in the Mainz starting lineup as Christoph Moritz and Gonzalo Jara come into the team for the meeting with the title chasers.

Mainz 05: Karius, Brosinski, Jara, Bell, Díaz, Baumgartlinger, Geis, Hofmann, Moritz, Allagui, Okazaki

Borussia Dortmund: Weidenfeller, Durm, Ginter, Sokratis, Piszczek, Bender, Jojic, Kagawa, Grosskreutz, Aubameyang, Ramos.
