Austria international Xaver Schlager apparently did not suffer a serious injury during RB Leipzig's 1-0 win at FSV Mainz 05. "It's the calf," reported RB managing director Marcel Schäfer, adding: "We'll know more tomorrow, but I don't think it's anything long-term. I can't imagine that with the best will in the world."
According to Leipzig coach Ole Werner, Schlager complained of "muscular problems" after just over half an hour. The defensive midfielder had suffered various serious injuries in recent years, including two cruciate ligament ruptures. "I was worried that it might be the knee again," admitted Schäfer.
