Julian Brandt - Dealing with illness Brandt (illness) is a doubt for Saturday's clash against Augsbourg, according to coach Niko Kovac, per Ruhr Nachrichten.

Impact Brandt hasn't been able to train fully in recent days due to illness and is a doubt for Saturday's clash against Augsburg. The attacking midfielder will likely be evaluated after the final training session to determine whether he can make the squad, with his situation being closely monitored. Brandt has been a regular presence in the attacking line in recent weeks, and his absence could force a shake-up in the starting XI, with Karim Adeyemi the leading candidate to step in if he is ruled out.

Ramy Bensebaini - Suspended one game Bensebaini will serve a one-match ban due to an accumulation of five yellow cards in the Bundesliga.

Impact Bensebaini picked up his fifth yellow card in Bundesliga action and will miss Saturday's clash against Augsburg due to suspension. The defender has been a mainstay in the center of the back line for Dortmund this season, cementing himself in the starting XI and delivering consistent, reliable minutes. His absence forces a shake-up in the lineup, with Niklas Sule or Luca Reggiani likely to be the options to replace him during his ban.

Niklas Sule - Option off bench Saturday Sule (thigh) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Koln.

Impact Sule returns to the matchday squad after missing the last four matches due to a thigh injury but begins the match on the bench. The center-back trained fully Friday and traveled with the squad, though the staff appear set to ease him back into action after his lengthy absence. He could see minutes in the second half if needed.

Niklas Sule - Fit for Koln Sule (thigh) trained fully Friday and ultimately traveled with the squad for Saturday's clash against Koln, according to Ruhr Nachrichten.

Impact Sule was initially expected to miss Saturday's clash against Koln, but the center-back logged a full training session Friday and traveled with the squad for the trip. He has been sidelined since mid February, so a spot in the starting XI against the goats remains unlikely, though he could feature off the bench and see some minutes in the second half if called upon. That said, he has struggled with injuries in recent seasons, so the staff will likely take a cautious approach and avoid rushing him back, especially with captain Emre Can (knee) already ruled out for the season.

Impact Mane has missed every match since early February with a muscle injury, but the defender was back in team training this week and could be an option for Saturday's clash against the goats. Mane will likely be a late fitness call after the final training session and could step right back into a meaningful role given the numerous injuries currently hitting the Black and Yellow back line.

Impact Chukwuemeka is dealing with a muscular injury and won't be available for the time being as he continues his recovery. The attacking midfielder had been a regular option off the bench, often stepping in as a super sub for the Black and Yellow. That said, his absence should open the door for other players to step up, with Karim Adeyemi likely seeing an uptick in playing time as a result.
