One man's injury misfortune is another man's opportunity: RB Leipzig will also have to do without at least four of their established players in the top match of the Bundesliga on Saturday (18:30/Sky) against Eintracht Frankfurt. German internationals Ridle Baku and Assan Ouédraogo are also unavailable, as are El Chadaille Bitshiabu and Romulo. It will only be decided on Friday whether Yohan Bakayoko will be able to play.
"Of course we'd like to have all the players available and it's also clear that the ones we're missing now will make us better if they're there. On the other hand, it's a normal situation. I'm looking at the players who are fit for action," said RB coach Ole Werner, referring to the breadth and quality of the squad. "We're still capable of playing good soccer and winning games. The lads who come in have our confidence," said the coach.
