The media came up with an idea: Hu Mei can play at the back, not worse than Weigel, and no one in the Bundesliga dares to bully Hu

Dortmund will face a crucial battle against Slavia Prague. Borussia Dortmund are looking to qualify from the Champions League group, but Dortmund's main defender Witsel will miss the remaining games of the year due to a face injury caused by a accidental fall at home. German media sport1 suggested that Hummels be allowed to play at the back if necessary. The media came up with an idea: Hu Mei can play at the back, not worse than Weigel, and no one in the Bundesliga dares to bully Hu.

Hummels said before the match: "Of course I will take responsibility on the pitch. German media sport1 said that at the beginning of Hummels's career, he once played in the back. For example, in the 2009 European Youth Championship final, Hummels and Khedira teamed up with a back combination to help Germany win the championship. However, Sport1 also said that in such a crucial game, Favre is unlikely to make a big change in formation.

For now, it seems that Favre will still let Weigel play the position of the back.
