RB Leipzig head coach Ole Werner can once again rely on Ridle Baku and Romulo in the top match against Bayer Leverkusen. "They are part of the squad. They are fit for more than ten minutes. We'll know how many minutes they'll play after the final training session," said Werner ahead of the final Bundesliga home game of the year on Saturday (18:30/Sky) against the Werkself.
However, Johan Bakayoko is out again with muscle problems. "It's the same problem that's bothering him again. It doesn't make much sense before the turn of the year. But the problems haven't gotten any bigger or worse," explained the coach, who also has to replace the recently outstanding Yan Diomande. Like Amadou Haidara, the winger has been sent off for the Africa Cup in Morocco.
