Dortmund midfielder set for snub against Barcelona, Sky reports

The 28-year-old has had an underwhelming season by his standards and could be left on the bench this Tuesday.

Sky Germany journalist Patrick Berger believes he has the inside scoop on Borussia Dortmund’s team to face Barcelona tomorrow, with a big omission expected. 

According to Berger, head coach Niko Kovac is planning to play without Julian Brandt in attacking midfield. 

The reason for this supposedly stems from what was seen at the final training session in Brackel.

Brand was not part of the first team as Chelsea loanee Carney Ckukwuemeka, who impressed against Bayern on Saturday, started at No.10.

As for the attack, Maximilian Beier and Serhou Guirassy formed a two-pronged attack with a midfield of Nmecha and Gross.
