Borussia Dortmund are already concentrating on the league after being eliminated from the Intertoto Cup and the DFB-Pokal, so coach Bert van Marwijk will be anxious to pick up a first Bundesliga win of the season at promoted Duisburg.
A draw at Wolfsburg and a defeat at the hands of Schalke in the Westphalian derby does not augur well for the new campaign and Sunday´s match with Duisburg will be another game in which Westphalian bragging rights will be at stake.
Sebastian Kehl is out with muscle problems and youngster Nuri Sahin is set to be recalled to the starting XI by Van Marwijk. The Dutchman might also recall Tomas Rosicky, who missed the cup defeat by Braunschweig but is back in full training.
