RB Leipzig in the top game against Bayern without Ouédraogo

“He got problems again that didn’t look so serious in the game. We’re in the process of diagnosing him and maybe we’ll know more on Saturday,” said Werner. The winger had already had to miss the game in December due to the same complaints.

Henrichs back in the squad

For Ouédraogo, another national player, Benjamin Henrichs, has joined the squad and could make his comeback after a year out due to injury. Henrichs tore his Achilles tendon in the 5-1 loss to Bayern last season and has been out since then.

Werner said he had earned the nomination through his intensive work over the past few months and now also in training. “We are pleased that he is back because he makes a very good impression on the pitch and is also a noticeable asset to the team as a leader,” praised Werner.
