RB Leipzig's professional Castello Lukeba will miss out against Borussia Mönchengladbach. After his substitution in the Bremen game (2:1) due to adductor problems, the French central defender is not an option, said head coach Ole Werner. He left open the question of whether Nicolas Seiwald would move into the back four, as he did in Bremen, or whether El Chadaille Bitshiabu would get a chance.
Brajan Gruda is also in doubt, as he is expected to return to team training this Friday following his adductor problems. Only then will Werner decide whether the U21 international is an option for the Bundesliga match against Gladbach on Saturday (3.30pm/Sky). There is another question mark over striker Conrad Harder. The Dane currently has thigh problems.
