Following Leipzig's elimination from the Champions League with zero points, managing director Marcel Schäfer did not want to think about the upcoming Bundesliga task. The frustration and disappointment were too deep-seated; progressing in the European Champions League is impossible. In addition to sporting glory on the international stage, there will be no further financial income. But one problem is even more acute.

"If we have to talk about one cause, it's: 'Why do we have so many injured players," Schäfer emphasized. "The number is rather large. We certainly have to look into it."
He did not want to admit any doubts about the size of the squad. "Of course we are very self-critical," he said: "But I don't see a structural problem." If you have 35 players, for example, "then I have to say: have fun every weekend when you have to tell 12 to 15 players that you're unfortunately not in the squad". In Leipzig, however, it's more likely to be just 12 to 15 players who are fully fit.
