The Berliners are fighting for relegation. And that’s why the capital club can’t use the latest news about the many absences due to illness. Will the team still score against Leipzig?
Hertha BSC announced on Sunday evening that they would have to do without further players against RB Leipzig due to corona infections. Kevin-Prince Boateng, Maximilian Mittelstädt, Lukas Klünter, Dongjun Lee, Marvin Plattenhardt and Jurgen Ekkelenkamp are now also out.
That should pose a real challenge for the Berlin coach Tayfun Korkut. Because in the past few days it has been reported that captain Niklas Stark and midfielder Suat Serdar will be absent from Leipzig due to a corona infection. A total of eight players are now missing.
After 22 matchdays, Hertha BSC is in 15th place in the Bundesliga table. Only one point separates the team from the relegation rank.
