Milosevic Benched: Werder vs. Dortmund Lineup Announced

The Bundesliga match between Werder Bremen and Borussia Dortmund is set for Tuesday at 20:30. Coach Horst Steffen has announced the starting lineup for this crucial game.
Werder Bremen’s Starting Lineup Against Dortmund
Jovan Milosevic, the 20-year-old forward, recently joined Werder Bremen on loan. He is quickly adapting to his new teammates, as the match against Dortmund approaches. The big question remains: will he make his debut as a starter?
Coaching Insights
During a recent press conference, Coach Horst Steffen confirmed that Milosevic is fit but did not reveal if he would start. “He’s ready to play,” Steffen stated, hinting at the possibility of using him off the bench initially.
Options in the Attack
If Milosevic does not start, Marco Grüll is expected to take the central striker position, relying on his work rate. Additionally, Justin Njinmah’s speed on the wings complements Romano Schmid, providing further attacking options. Samuel Mbangula may step in if Njinmah is substituted.
Defensive Structure
Werder Bremen’s defensive setup appears more straightforward. Goalkeeper Mio Backhaus is fit to play after recovering from a training accident. The defense will likely consist of:
- Amos Pieper
- Marco Friedl
- Karim Coulibaly
On the flanks, Isaac Schmidt and Yukinari Sugawara will start, providing support on both sides of the pitch.
Midfield Strategy
The midfield duo of Senne Lynen and Jens Stage will retain their positions, ensuring stability against Dortmund’s potent attack. With these elements, Werder Bremen aims to challenge Dortmund effectively in this pivotal Bundesliga clash.
