RB Leipzig in the cup initially without Werner

RB Leipzig’s trainer Julian Nagelsmann initially waived national team player Timo Werner in the DFB Cup round of 16. The 23-year-old is currently on the bench in the game at Eintracht Frankfurt on Tuesday (6.30 p.m. / Sky and Sport1). The Czech Patrik Schick, who was not in the starting line-up in the 2-2 win against Borussia Mönchengladbach last Saturday, has started from the start.

At Eintracht, the Portuguese André Silva replaces the Bas Dost weakened after a gastrointestinal infection. Frankfurt defeated Leipzig 2-0 in the Bundesliga ten days ago.
