How RB Leipzig could line up Freiburg

Sports Mole looks at how RB Leipzig could line up in Saturday's Bundesliga clash with Freiburg.

RB Leipzig mark their return to Bundesliga action on Saturday with a behind-closed-doors meeting against Freiburg at Red Bull Arena.

Julian Nagelsmann's side are third in the Bundesliga table after a mixed run of league form before the coronavirus pandemic brought the league to a standstill in March.

The Red Bulls beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-0 in their most recent outing to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Champions League, but any sort of momentum has since been halted.

Ahead of the restart of Germany's top flight this weekend, Sports Mole looks at how Leipzig could line up against Freiburg.


Possible RBL XI vs. FRB

Out: Emil Forsberg (illness), Dayot Upamecano (suspended),
Doubtful: Ethan Ampadu (back), Will Orban (knee)

Dayot Upamecano has been linked with plenty of heavyweight clubs over the past couple of months, but Leipzig will be without their star centre-back this weekend due to suspension.

On-loan Chelsea defender Ethan Ampadu has previously filled the void in central defence, but that is not his favoured position and he is not fully over a troublesome back injury.

Ibrahima Konate, while himself not fully fit, is therefore expected to start Saturday's clash in what should be a three-man backline.

Further forward, Emil Forsberg has tonsillitis and will not be involved against Freiburg, but top scorer Timo Werner is raring to go after shaking off a thigh injury.

Patrik Schick is the favourite to offer support for Werner, while Yussuf Poulsen will also hope to get the nod.
