Leipzig (AP) – RB Leipzig starts without top scorer Christopher Nkunku in the second half of the Bundesliga.
The runner-up’s most dangerous attacker with seven goals and seven assists is only sitting on the bench against FSV Mainz 05. Instead, Leipzig’s coach Domenico Tedesco lets André Silva and Yussuf Poulsen, who has been injured for weeks, begin the attack. The Danish international was last on the field at the beginning of November.
Mainz has to do without Moussa Niakhaté because of a corona infection. The French defender scored the decisive goal in the first leg when a Mainz team, weakened by many corona infections, surprisingly defeated Leipzig 1-0.
