RB Leipzig want to secure fourth place against Wolfsburg - with captain Raum missing. How coach Ole Werner sets up the team and why Timo Werner is the focus of attention before kick-off.

RB Leipzig want to consolidate their fourth place in the Bundesliga against VfL Wolfsburg. Coach Ole Werner's team will host the relegation-threatened Lower Saxons on Sunday (17:30/DAZN) at the end of the 22nd matchday. Werner will have to replace captain David Raum. The international is missing due to a yellow card suspension, so Max Finkgräfe will defend at left-back.

"Basically, it's just important for us in the home game at the end of the week to bring good energy to the pitch, to be intense against a team that is very experienced, strong with set-pieces and has a good structure with the ball," said Werner.

Before the game, former international Timo Werner will be given an official send-off. Leipzig's record goalscorer is moving to San José in the USA. The striker is expected to play his first league game for his new club on February 22 against Kansas City.
