Borussia Dortmund head coach Niko Kovač confirmed that defenders Nico Schlotterbeck and Ramy Bensebaini are available for selection ahead of Saturday's Bundesliga match against SC Paderborn. Both players participated fully in recent training sessions and are fit for duty. Bensebaini had been sidelined following a rib contusion sustained during the Supercup loss to Bayern Munich. Meanwhile, Schlotterbeck recovers from an ankle injury suffered at the World Cup, marking a faster recovery than initially projected. The returns provide a necessary boost to the team's defensive depth, which has been limited in recent weeks. Kovač stated he has the option to field either player during the upcoming fixture.
