RB Leipzig may have to manage without Castello Lukeba when they visit TSG Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
The French centre-back is struggling with a shoulder problem. According to Bild, Lukeba will undergo a fitness test on Thursday or Friday, but he currently looks unlikely to feature.
If Lukeba is unavailable, El Chadaille Bitshiabu is ready to step in alongside Willi Orban in central defence.
Bitshiabu most recently impressed in Leipzig’s 4-1 DFB-Pokal win over Energie Cottbus.
Lukeba has played every minute in the Bundesliga for Leipzig so far this season.
