RB Leipzig coach Marco Rose is running out of personnel ahead of the DFB Cup match against Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday (8.45pm/Sky and ZDF), which will also set the tone for the club. One day before the game, the Saxons announced the absence of Castello Lukeba. The Frenchman suffered a muscle injury in his left thigh against VfL Wolfsburg (1:5) on Saturday and will be out for two months. This makes him the eighth long-term injury in the already thin RB squad.
However, Rose does not want to lament and is hoping for a turnaround against a "very strong opponent". After six unsuccessful games in November, his job is in jeopardy. The 48-year-old knows that too. "I can say what I want: I need a success to calm the issue down again or we'll keep firing it up," said Rose, emphasizing, "I'm calm myself, I'm standing up straight."
