Before top game in Dortmund

Bundesliga club RB Leipzig has to forego the attacker Timo Werner, which was recently on the up-to-life, in the top game against Borussia Dortmund. This was announced by coach Ole Werner on Friday. Kevin Kampl also fails with the Saxons, who rank a place behind the Westphalia in the table, due to illness.
“Timo has muscular problems on the bar and will not ride. He already had problems on Tuesday and was still on the pitch. But afterwards he already made the feedback that it makes no sense to continue training,” said the coach. The club, whose contract in Leipzig runs until the end of the season, had transparently suggested the striker, whose contract runs in Leipzig from his loan to Tottenham, whose contract runs in Leipzig, but one did not come about.
In September, the 57-fold national player, who always behaved professionally in training and quickly catched up again in terms of performance, returned to the RB squad for the first time against Cologne-to the delight of his teammates. In Wolfsburg, Werner Werner recently rewarded with a one-minute mini-mission. The attacker will now have to wait for another.
The fact is: Werner’s and Kampls’ failures should hardly affect coach Werner in Dortmund. The 37-year-old goes with confidence in the top game of the 6th Bundesliga game day: “It is certainly the case that we have prepared for the game for a whole week and Dortmund less-we should also try to capitalize in any form. On the other hand, it is the case that Dortmund is used to this rhythm and has a team that is compiled for it.”
