Timo Werner in RB Leipzig squad to face Borussia Dortmund
RB Leipzig head coach Ralph Hasenhüttl has confirmed that star striker Timo Werner is in the squad to face Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.
The 21-year-old missed Germany's World Cup qualifiers against Northern Ireland and Azerbaijan after complaining of a neck injury in the first half of Leipzig's Champions League loss at Besiktas a fortnight ago.

He subsequently missed his side's 2-1 win over Cologne in the Bundesliga on Matchday 7, but is in contention for Saturday's headline clash when last season's runners-up travel to the current league leaders.
