After three defeats in a row and the 2:5 in Stuttgart, RB Leipzig head coach Marco Rose is changing goalkeepers. Janis Blaswich, who recently received an invitation from national team coach Julian Nagelsmann, will be replaced by Peter Gulacsi in goal this Sunday (17:30/DAZN) against 1. FC Union Berlin. Rose confirmed this at the press conference on Friday.
"Despite conceding five goals in Stuttgart, Janis played a decent game. It's not about Janis' performance, we have nothing against him, he did a great job. We are changing because we see the overall situation. We want to give new impetus," said Rose, adding: "We've lost three games and want to change something in this position as well."
After tearing his cruciate ligament on October 5, 2022, Hungarian international goalkeeper Gulacsi slowly worked his way up. The 33-year-old former captain has already gained match experience this season in the Champions League against Bern and in the DFB Cup. It is now his comeback in the Bundesliga on Sunday.
