Leipzig commences without the presence of its trio
In the fourth matchday of the Bundesliga, RB Leipzig will host 1. FC Cologne at the Red Bull Arena on Saturday at 6:30 PM, with the game set to be broadcast on Sky.
The Austrian national player on Leipzig's team, who suffered a muscle injury in his right calf during the game against FSV Mainz 05, and a 20-year-old Norwegian player who broke his right forearm during the same match, will be absent for the home game.
Leipzig's new signing, Johan Bakayoko, is also out due to a minor infection. Lukas Klostermann and Viggo Gebel are absent due to load management.
The injuries to the two players and Bakayoko's suspension are additional absences for RB Leipzig in their match against 1. FC Cologne. RB Leipzig had previously reported two casualties, Xaver Schlager and Antonio Nusa, who will definitely miss the game.
The specific nature of the muscle injury for the Austrian player and the forearm break for the Norwegian player are not specified.
Despite these setbacks, Leipzig currently ranks seventh in the Bundesliga with six points from three games. They secured a 1:0 win against FSV Mainz 05 in their last game.
On the other hand, 1. FC Cologne is ranked third, one point ahead of Leipzig. They will be looking to maintain their position and potentially climb higher in the standings.
The training session for the game against Cologne was the first one under coach Ole Werner. The match will be an exciting test for both teams, with each seeking to secure valuable points.
The game promises to be an enthralling encounter, and fans can tune in to Sky to catch all the action from the Red Bull Arena. The recovery time for both injured players depends on the healing process, and their return to the field will be eagerly awaited by Leipzig supporters.
