Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp has omitted striker Robert Lewandowski from his starting lineup for today's Bundesliga clash against Augsburg at home.
Playmaker Mario Gomez has also been left on the bench along with Sebastian Kehl, Ilkay Gundogan and Lukasz Piszczek, keeping an eye on his side's Champions League quarter-final second-leg tie against Malaga next week.
Mats Hummels has yet to attain match fitness and is left out of the squad entirely.
