Marcel Sabitzer a doubt for RB Leipzig's trip to Hoffenheim
RB Leipzig coach Julian Nagelsmann says it's unclear if Marcel Sabitzer will be able to feature against Hoffenheim on Friday.
Marcel Sabitzer is a doubt for RB Leipzig's Bundesliga clash against Hoffenheim on Friday.
Speaking at the pre-match press conference, RB Leipzig coach Julian Nagelsmann said he will wait until Thursday to make a decision on Sabitzer's fitness after the midfielder missed his side's 1-1 draw with Paderborn last week due to a calf problem.
"'Sabi' is still struggling a bit. But he will train again tomorrow," Nagelsmann said and added:
"I'm in good spirits. He is already doing better. It's nothing structural, but the calf is often a problematic area of the body that you can quickly injure again once you feel a bit of pain there."
Sabitzer has scored 16 goals and made nine assists in 39 games for RB Leipzig this season.
