Marco Fritz to referee the derby | Sky to broadcast | Hummels to play

Borussia Dortmund will visit FC Schalke 04 on Saturday. Kick-off is at 18:30 CET. We have compiled all the info on our Bundesliga away game in the usual compact format below. This page will be updated if there is any news.

Line-ups: Four new faces for the derby away to Schalke

Borussia Dortmund will be without Kobel (muscular problems), Reus (cold), Brandt (torn fibres), Adeyemi (lack of training), Moukoko (partial tear of the syndesmosis ligament), Duranville and Morey (both in fitness training), and will make four changes compared to the team that faced Chelsea in the Champions League on Tuesday: Hummels, Ryerson, Bynoe-Gittens and Malen have been introduced to the starting XI in place of Süle, Özcan, Brandt and Reus.

Referee: Marco Fritz to oversee the derby

Marco Fritz from Korb in Württemberg will referee the match, with Dominik Schaal and Marcel Pelgrim on the sidelines and Daniel Schlager as the video assistant. Fritz has already overseen 25 Bundesliga matches involving BVB (13 wins, three draws and nine defeats); the most recent of those was the 4-1 home loss to Leipzig and before that – in February 2022 – the 6-0 win in Gladbach. Marco Fritz referees for SV Breuningsweiler in the Württemberg State Federation. He has taken charge of 189 Bundesliga games to date.
