Bürki has reverted to number 38, which is what he was given at the start of his time at the Westfalenstadion.

The 30-year-old has been attracting interest from both Roma and Lille.

Meanwhile, another new arrival has also been given a revered number by Die Schwarzgelben.

Teenager Soumaïla Coulibaly, who joined from Paris Saint-Germain, will wear the number four on his back. The allocation sees him follow in the footsteps of club legends Christian Wörns and Neven Subotic.
