With Bundesliga matches last Sunday against Darmstadt (2-2) and Bayern Munich this coming weekend, Thomas Tuchel has made eight changes to his starting line-up for matchday 2 of the UEFA Europa League campaign. "But this is not out of a lack of respect for our opposition. Absolutely everything will be demanded of us physically in these two matches, so we need a fully fit team for each one," said the coach ahead of the clash with PAOK Saloniki.

Eight fresh faces will feature in the starting eleven in Thessaloniki while Weigl, Mkhitaryan and Reus all remain in the side. It's not the biggest example of rotation in Borussia Dortmund's history either, with former coach Jürgen Klopp making ten changes to the team that beat Düsseldorf 2-1 between the 2013 UEFA Champions League semi-finals against Real Madrid (4-1, 0-2). 

The line-up: Weidenfeller – Piszczek, Subotic, Bender, Park – Weigl – Hofmann, Castro, Mkhitaryan, Januzaj – Reus (br)
