Team News

Julian Nagelsmann’s side will be without right-back Konrad Laimer, who misses out due to illness, while Yussuf Poulsen and Austrian midfielder Hannes Wolf are injured and will likely miss the remainder of the season.

Borussia Dortmund will again be without Mahmoud Dahoud, but Dan Axel Zagadou could return to the bench after making the trip to Leipzig. There is more bad news for Dortmund fans, as wing-back Achraf Hakimi picked up his fifth yellow card of the season during the week and is suspended. Manuel Akanji is also ruled out with a muscle injury, while Thomas Delaney is also expected to miss out. Both Marco Reus and Mario Götze aren’t expected to feature either.

Expected Line-Ups

RB Leipzig: Gulacsi – Klostermann, Upamecano, Halstenberg – Mukiele, Sabitzer, Kampl, Angelino – Olmo – Werner, Schick

Borussia Dortmund: Bürki – Piszczek (c), Hummels, Can – Morey, Witsel, Brandt, Guerreiro – Sancho, Haaland, Hazard
