Sancho to face Pulisic as 13 BVB players receive call-ups
The Bundesliga campaign is set to pause for the third fortnight-long international break of the season. 13 players from the Borussia Dortmund senior squad have been called up to represent their countries in the November international fixtures.
Injury means that Roman Bürki will miss the upcoming fixtures of the Swiss national team, and it is not yet certain whether fitness will allow all those called up to represent their countries. In some cases, BVB players may even face their team-mates: Jadon Sancho's England will take on Christian Pulisic's USA in London, while Manuel Ajanji's Switzerland will face Axel Witsel's Belgium.
