Captain David Raum will miss Bundesliga club RB Leipzig's match against Union Berlin. The international is complaining of groin pain. According to RB head coach Ole Werner, the problems got worse again after his brief substitution in the 3-1 win in Frankfurt. However, RB will be able to rely on defensive boss Willi Orban again in Friday's game (20:30/Sky) against the Iron. Xaver Schlager, who was recently suspended, is also ready to play again.
Central defender Castello Lukeba will still be missing after suffering a setback with his adductor injury. Werner emphasized that he will possibly be built up for the game against Bayer Leverkusen. El Chadaille Bitshiabu will replace him in the back four. "He's showing a positive trend and has performed well," said coach Werner. Ezechiel Banzuzi is also still out with a capsule injury in his knee.
