Not won despite huge chances. And on top of that, RB Leipzig lost its head of defense in the Champions League hit against PSG.
Willi Orban had a bitter 29th birthday. He was the most stable central defender in the back three and couldn’t do much with the goals conceded. And at break he had to go down with pain in his back thigh.
Suspected muscle fiber torn! Trainer Jesse Marsch: “Willi said he doesn’t know anything like that. But he felt a sting. He’s definitely canceled for Saturday. And I think it will probably take at least two weeks. ”
Sure: In the Saturday crash against Dortmund, Marsch has to plan without his head of defense. Because Klostermann (training after a muscle fiber tear) and Halstenberg (after ankle surgery) are not yet fit either, it gets a bit thin in the back.
Probably now that in addition to Simakan and Gvardiol, Nordi Mukiele is now slipping in from the right wing.
Could be another chance for Benjamin Henrichs as right-back on Saturday. But Konrad Laimer also did a strong job there against Paris.
Orban out! After Klostermann, Brobbey, Henrichs and Olmo, Orban is already the fifth player with a muscle injury since training started.
The short preparation and the tough English weeks are slowly taking their toll …
