RB Leipzig faces stress test at Union Berlin

Ole Werner faces a stress test with RB Leipzig. At 1. FC Union Berlin (20:30/Sky) this Friday, the head coach expects a heated, duel-focused match. "We have to be stress-resistant when long balls come our way and the game gets hectic. If the opposition try to impose their style of play on us, we have to accept that, but there will be situations in which we find clear solutions to win the ball and keep possession," said Werner.

The way the Iron play soccer is also special. "The style of play is different to that of recent opponents. Union Berlin have a similar style of play to Mainz, but what they do, they do well. Especially at home," emphasized Werner. The atmosphere at the Alte Försterei is also special. Plus there's a floodlit game".

Timo Werner back in the squad

RB will be without their Norwegian winger Antonio Nusa for the last two games of the year. The attacking player injured the syndesmosis ligament in his ankle in the match against Eintracht Frankfurt (6:0). Timo Werner, who has had muscle problems recently, is back in the matchday squad.
