Marco Rose is under growing pressure as RB Leipzig coach after Sunday's 2-2 draw with relegation-threatened Heidenheim left the club with just one win in their last seven Bundesliga games.

According to Kicker, the club's boardroom is on "high alert" after Sunday's game, which saw Leipzig fall behind by two goals behind early on.

Meanwhile, Bild reports that Rose's support is dwindling and that there is now a strong case for a summer sacking.

However, Ridle Baku, who joined Leipzig from Wolfsburg in January, remains convinced that Rose is the right man for the job.

"I've known him for a long time and we're working together now. The team is intact, there's no debate. The team is behind the whole coaching staff. We want to give our best on the pitch," Baku told Sky.

Leipzig are currently sixth in the Bundesliga. They next face Wolfsburg in the DFB-Pokal on Wednesday.
