Borussia Dortmund team news
Head coach Niko Kovac welcomed a significant boost with the return of star striker Serhou Guirassy, who has been cleared to play after recovering from a concussion.
However, the medical room remains crowded, particularly in defensive areas. Niklas Sule is officially ruled out for the rest of the campaign following a knee injury, joining long-term absentee Emre Can, who is recovering from a cruciate ligament tear.
The midfield is also stretched thin without Felix Nmecha, while the attack remains without the explosive Karim Adeyemi due to ongoing muscular issues.
Julian Brandt is expected to return to the starting lineup to feed their returning talisman up front.

Freiburg team news
Freiburg face a challenging selection headache as they navigate a punishing schedule between a DFB-Pokal exit and an upcoming Europa League semi-final.
Manager Julian Schuster is forced to manage heavy legs, with Max Rosenfelder and Patrick Osterhage both confirmed out with hamstring and knee injuries, respectively.
There are further concerns as Jordy Makengo and Philipp Treu face late fitness tests to determine their availability.
Given the high stakes of their European run, Schuster is expected to rotate his lineup; veteran playmaker Vincenzo Grifo may begin on the bench to preserve energy, allowing Niklas Beste a chance to regain his starting spot.
Matthias Ginter and Bruno Ogbus will manage the defence, while hoping Lucas Holer can capitalise on the counter-attack.
Form
Borussia Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund currently sit second in the Bundesliga. However, they have experienced a recent dip in domestic form, entering this match on the back of consecutive losses to Bayer Leverkusen (0-1) and TSG Hoffenheim (1-2).
Despite these setbacks, their overall record remains strong with 19 wins this season. They have been particularly dominant at home, where they have lost just four of their last 21 matches at Signal Iduna Park.
Freiburg
Freiburg are currently eighth and have shown impressive resilience in April. They enter this match in excellent spirits despite a narrow midweek DFB-Pokal semi-final loss to Stuttgart. Their recent league form includes back-to-back victories against Mainz and Heidenheim, complemented by a commanding 6-1 aggregate win over Celta Vigo to reach the Europa League semi-finals. They are currently on an eight-game scoring streak across all competitions.
