RB Leipzig gives an injury update on Xaver Schlager and prepares for the duel against HSV. Latest news and developments.
Wonderful return: Xaver Schlager back in the RB Leipzig squad!
A lot is happening at the RB Leipzig football club! After a break due to injury, Xaver Schlager, the 28-year-old midfielder, is back in the squad. As the LVZ reported, he could be used in the important duel against Hamburger SV. Schlager participated fully in training this week and made a consistently positive impression on coach Ole Werner.
But not everything is going well for the cops. Max Finkgräfe is returning to training, but will not play against HSV. Benjamin Henrichs and Kosta Nedeljkovic are also still out. The team has a few fewer regulars and key players, which makes it difficult to line up at the headquarters. In the last game against 1. FSV Mainz 05, Schlager had to be substituted in the 32nd minute due to muscular problems, which brings with it a certain risk when it comes to injury updates. Loud RBLive Schlager is considered an essential part of the team and a longer absence would be a bitter setback.
A coaching duel between the youngsters
The upcoming game against HSV is also seen as a special coaching duel. Ole Werner meets Merlin Polzin, two young coaching talents who want to steer their teams in the right direction. RB Leipzig's women's team also has an exciting date ahead of them: the round of 16 in the DFB Cup against Werder Bremen is on November 16th.
There is also interesting news from the social sector: Christoph Baumgartner was honored with a Fair Play award for his commitment in Uganda. The Austrian international has founded a training center for women there and is actively involved in social projects.
Appreciation and bad luck with injuries
Yussuf Poulsen, the former record player for RB Leipzig, will soon also be honored. His farewell game against HSV will be an emotional moment for the fans. Unfortunately, there is also negative news: RB women's top scorer Giovanna Hoffmann will be out for several months after tearing her cruciate ligament, which is a major weakening for the team. David Raum is also confronted with hate messages on social media, which he has commented on publicly.
Back in the men's team, RB Leipzig has upgraded this season with a further improved training center, which offers new playing surfaces and a functional building. That can only be positive for the development of the players, especially since they recently caused a stir in the DFB Cup. With a 1-0 win against VfL Wolfsburg, Leipzig qualified for the semi-finals; Benjamin Šeško scored the decisive goal with a hand penalty. DFB thus consolidated their place in the last four.
The next few weeks promise to be exciting, for both the men and women of RB Leipzig. We can't wait to see how the teams perform and whether Xaver Schlager is fit enough to play again against Hamburger SV!
