Leipzig will be without top scorer Timo Werner after he pulled his hamstring on his Germany debut against England. Yussuf Poulsen could come in for him if the Dane is judged to have fully recovered from the thigh injury that sidelined him in February.

Exciting midfielder Naby Keita is back from a combination of suspension and a health scare after he suffered a circulatory collapse following the Matchday 24 defeat against Wolfsburg. Meanwhile, defender Lukas Klostermann is back in training after suffering a cruciate ligament injury in September.
