Borussia Dortmund, Chelsea lineups: Cucurella dropped, Koulibaly returns as Haller starts
February 15th, 2023 by Olasunkanmi Ibikunle

Graham Potter has made three changes to the side that drew with West Ham on Saturday.
Benoit Badisahile was left out of the Champions League squad so he’s replaced by Kalidou Koulibaly in defence, with Ben Chilwell in at left back over Marc Cucurella.
Finally, Hakim Ziyech is back in on the right of midfield over Noni Madueke.
Chilwell has struggled with injury in his time at Chelsea so far, but has overcome his latest setback to start for The Blues tonight.
Joining him at the back tonight is Kalidou Koulibaly. Having been one of the top centre-backs in Serie A in recent years, he hasn’t quite lived up to expectation since his move to Chelsea.
He has been displaced in the Premier League by new signing Benoit Badiashile, who has hit the ground running, but the Frenchman could not be registered for the UCL squad.
They will both be hoping to take their chance and put in a good performance tonight, so that they can keep their place.
There are a number of goal threats in both sides this evening, with talent such as Mudryk, Felix, Haller, Bellingham and more out on the pitch.
Kai Havertz and Karim Adeyemi are far from the finished article, but possess boundless potential, and we could see something special from them tonight.
Havertz has looked better of late, after a rough start to the season, and has been benefiting from the arrival of Joao Felix in behind him.
As for Adeyemi, it hasn’t been a goal-laden season for him so far, but Dortmund have not had a really consistent attacking line up all season.
