If Dortmund's exploits last season is any evidence to go by, Lucien Favre is the kind of manager who tends to rotate his players to keep them fresh over the course of a season.

The strategy paid dividends as the likes of Mario Gotze, Paco Alcacer and Jacob Bruun Larsen all played interchangeably up-front without dropping off in terms of overall quality as Dortmund kept pace with Bayern Munich for the entirety of the season.

Despite losing Christian Pulisic to Chelsea, the arrival of Thorgan Hazard gives their attack another dimension as the German club have enough fire-power to trouble any back-line in the division even if Alcacer is unavailable.

Reus could be deployed as the furthest man up the pitch and with the likes of Sancho and Hazard stationed either side of him, Favre's side can unlock another dimension to their football.

Reus' intelligence in leading the line allows Dortmund's wingers to express themselves more freely and his link-up play would bring the best out of them.
