RB Leipzig are sweating over the availability of Lois Openda ahead of their trip to Dortmund this weekend.
The Belgian striker picked up a knock in last week's win over Freiburg and was ruled out of Leipzig's midweek DFB-Pokal clash with St. Pauli.
He'll be tested in today's final training session to see if he's ready to return to action against Borussia Dortmund.
"With Loïs, we'll have to see how he reacts in training today," Leipzig coach Marco Rose said at his pre-match press conference on Friday.
“We still have hopes for him. If he is on the plane, he'll be in the squad. Then maybe he'll play from the start.”
Peter Gulacsi, meanwhile, is fit to play after shaking off the knock he suffered against Freiburg.
Nicolas Seiwald and Assan Ouedraogo are both back in training with the team and could return to the squad.
