Despite absences: RB must return to success in Heidenheim

RB Leipzig are under a lot of pressure right at the start of an English week with games against three of the Bundesliga's cellar dwellers. The Saxons have slipped out of the Champions League places with one game less than their rivals following their 5-1 defeat to FC Bayern and must now try to get back on the road to success as quickly as possible. That's why only a complete success counts against 1. FC Heidenheim on Saturday (3.30pm/Sky).

However, coach Werner will be without three key players from the 16th-placed team in the table - Assan Ouédraogo, Castello Lukeba and Johan Bakayoko - due to injury. However, RB have only lost once in 17 competitive matches against the club from Ostalb.
