Borussia Dortmund host 1. FC Heidenheim at Signal Iduna Park on 1 February 2026, with kickoff at 16:30 UTC in Bundesliga Regular Season Round 20. Dortmund sit 2nd on 42 points and a +21 goal difference, while bottom club Heidenheim are 18th with 13 points and a -25 differential.
Borussia Dortmund availability
Dortmund have several defensive and midfield concerns. Midfielder M. Sabitzer misses out with a calf injury, removing an experienced engine-room option, while defender N. Sule is sidelined by a back injury. Young defender F. Mané is listed as questionable with an unspecified injury, further limiting depth at the back. Despite these absences, the attacking core is intact. Top scorers M. Beier, S. Guirassy and K. Adeyemi all have 6 league goals each and remain available to lead the line, supported by creative outlet J. Ryerson, who has delivered 6 assists from wide areas.
1. FC Heidenheim availability
Heidenheim arrive with a lengthy absentee list. Attacker C. Conteh is ruled out with a knock, while goalkeeper F. Feller, defender L. Paqarada and forward B. Zivzivadze all miss out with knee injuries. Key defender B. Gimber is suspended due to yellow cards, further weakening their back line. In addition, attackers S. Conteh and M. Kaufmann are both questionable through illness, leaving doubts over their forward options in a side that has scored only 17 league goals.
Impact summary
Dortmund’s injuries are concentrated in defence and midfield but their main attacking contributors remain available, preserving most of their goal threat. Heidenheim, already struggling at the bottom of the table, are hit harder across all lines, particularly in defence and attack, which could tilt the balance further toward the hosts.
