Without striker Timo Werner, defending champion RB Leipzig will play its first-round DFB Cup match at second-division soccer team SV Wehen Wiesbaden. The international player has not made the trip to the Hessian state capital due to ongoing back problems, the Leipzig team announced shortly before kickoff of the match on Wednesday evening (20:45/ARD and Sky). In contrast, goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi - as announced by RB coach Marco Rose - celebrates his comeback after almost a year of injury.
