Despite the high levels of particulate matter and a warning from the Federal Environment Agency, RB Leipzig is not making any adjustments to its training. "We'll still go out and train as normal. We're not making any compromises," said coach Marco Rose. "The issue is more of a bigger one in order to better position ourselves for the future." Leipzig face FC Augsburg in the Bundesliga on Friday (20:30/DAZN).
Due to the high levels of particulate matter, the Federal Environment Agency had recommended that jogging outdoors should be avoided. The high levels of particulate matter are particularly worrying for people with asthma, allergies and acute respiratory illnesses. On Wednesday morning, the Leipzig Environmental Agency issued an appeal for particulate matter and asked citizens to refrain from driving and lighting fires. The reason for the pollution is the current weather situation.
