5 Borussia Dortmund Players to watch out for in the 2018-19 Bundesliga season

# 3 Axel Witsel

Belgium Press Conference - 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia

After an eventful run in this year’s World Cup Axel Witsel will be hoping to repeat the performances with Borussia Dortmund. The Belgian will be a vital cog in Dortmund’s campaign as the midfielder is capable of circulating the ball with his innovative moves and steady passing. The 29-year-old made a switchover to the Bundesliga this season after playing for the Chinese club Tianjin Quanjian in the last season.

Witsel is a smart mover on the field and can baffle any defense with his creative dribbles. Witsel is a busy player on the field and it will be interesting to see how he teams up with the likes of Marco Reus and Mario Goetze in the midfield especially against teams who are defensively stronger.

Although the former Benfica man has only scored 1 goal in 11 Bundesliga games this season, the Belgian can be a tough opponent because of his ability to create chances inside the box.
