RB Leipzig are sweating over the fitness of Willi Orban ahead of their Bundesliga clash with Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday.

According to Bild, the 33-year-old defender is suffering from a muscle injury and has been unable to train ahead of the match.

Whether Orban will be available is highly doubtful, and the situation is further complicated by the absence of his usual centre-back partner, Castello Lukeba, who is currently sidelined with adductor problems.

Should Orban miss out, Lukas Klostermann could partner El Chadaille Bitshiabu at the heart of defence for Ole Werner’s side at the weekend.
