Peter Gulacsi and Lois Openda are among RB Leipzig's most important players. Both had to miss out on the cup, but things are looking better for the top match at BVB.

RB Leipzig can plan to play goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi and goal scorer Loïs Openda in the Bundesliga top match at Borussia Dortmund. The duo did not play in the 4-2 DFB Cup win against FC St. Pauli, but there are no serious injuries.

"Pete would have been fit to play, even if he still has slight problems. Heading to Dortmund, that shouldn't be a major issue," said coach Marco Rose. Gulacsi is suffering from a slight capsule injury in his ankle. Leipzig travel to Dortmund on Saturday (18:30/Sky), where they won 3:2 at BVB last season.

"Structurally, nothing is broken"

While the Hungarian international goalkeeper was on the bench against St. Pauli, Openda did not make the squad. The Belgian attacker has a slight knee injury. "The inner ligament is stable, we had an MRI. Structurally, nothing is broken, but he has muscular problems at the base," said Rose. The hope is "that it will get better day by day".

Gulacsi was replaced by Maarten Vandevoordt against St. Pauli, the change was planned anyway. Openda is Saxony's top scorer with five goals in eight Bundesliga games. At BVB, the 24-year-old is likely to become an important factor in Leipzig's game due to his speed as well as his scoring instinct.
