Kevin Kampl has been handed a start by Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp for the meeting with Hertha Berlin at Signal Iduna Park.
The winger gets the opportunity due to the absence of Marco Reus, who misses out as he continues to battle with an adductor problem which has hampered him in recent weeks.
Roman Weidenfeller is fit enough to earn a spot on the bench after recovering from a back injury, but Mitchell Langerak keeps his place in goal.
Sven Bender and Lukasz Piszczek are named on the bench and they are joined by Ciro Immobile as Klopp persists with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as the lone striker.
Hertha, who start the day just three points clear of the bottom three, make one change to their side as Pal Dardai brings back Nico Schulz to replace Marcel Ndjeng.
Dortmund: Langerak, Durm, Subotic, Hummels, Schmelzer, Kehl, Gundogan, Mkhitaryan, Kagawa, Kampl, Aubameyang
Hertha: Kraft, Pekarik, Langkamp, Brooks, Plattenhardt, Skjelbred, Lustenberger, Haraguchi, Stocker, Schulz, Kalou
Callum Mulvihill
