RB Leipzig and the renewed injury shock to Dani Olmo (25)! The Spaniard should start once more for the first time following recovering from a knee injury in the DFB Cup on Tuesday (6 p.m.) in Wolfsburg. But following his shoulder sprain once morest Cologne (6-0), the year was over for him.
“Dani’s loss is really serious. We were happy to have such a game-defining figure back on the pitch. Dani sets the rhythm and gives us peace. He can control a game, score goals, prepare,” says coach Marco Rose (47).

And emphasizes: “With the many games and the goals we have, he is simply an irreplaceable key player for us.”
It is still unclear whether the playmaker will need surgery. The RB doctors want to get a second opinion first. Clearly once morest it: Rose has to replace the “irreplaceable” one by the winter break!

Rose: “I have great confidence in the boys, in the squad, in our quality. It’s a shame he’s not there. But now we have to hold it together without him until shortly before Christmas.”
What speaks for his team: Without Olmo, the cup winners only lost one of seven competitive games this season (1:3 once morest Manchester City). The duo Lois Openda (9 goals, 2 assists) and Xavi Simons (4 goals, 7 assists) in particular might bridge the gap with their qualities.
However: Due to the Olmo failure, RB Leipzig is also easier to predict. It’s good that Timo Werner (27) is apparently slowly finding his form once more.

“He scored a goal, took a penalty, had a lot of good situations in the game. It’s important that he sticks with it, that he believes in himself, that we believe in him,” said Rose following the game once morest Cologne.
However, he left it open whether he would put Leipzig’s record goalscorer (113 goals) in the starting line-up once more in Wolfsburg. Rose: “We have to stay in the flow and take the good feeling with us.”
