BERLIN: Borussia Dortmund host champions Bayern Munich for the German Super Cup on Sunday with Mats Hummels and Mario Goetze set to be scrutinised following high-profile returns to each rival team.

Germany centre-back Hummels, Dortmund’s captain last season, can expect an uncomfortable return to Borussia’s sold-out Signal Iduna Park having signed a five-year deal in May to rejoin Bayern, the club he left in 2008.
