On Saturday, RB Leipzig will host 1. FC Köln in the Bundesliga. Two key players cannot be present.

RB Leipzig will be without their key players Antonio Nusa and Xaver Schlager for at least the upcoming home game against 1. FC Köln. The Bundesliga club announced that the 20-year-old Norwegian broke his right forearm during last Saturday's 1-0 win at FSV Mainz 05. The attacking player is due to undergo surgery this Tuesday.

Schlager will also be missing on Saturday (18:30/Sky). The Austrian international suffered a muscle injury in his right calf in Mainz. The midfielder was substituted in the 32nd minute. Leipzig announced that the downtime for both players would depend on the healing process.
