Overview
- Leipzig host Werder on Sunday at 15:30, marking Ole Werner’s first meeting with his former club since his May exit.
- Werner called the reunion “something special” but said preparation feels normal as he targets a result.
- He downplayed any insider edge, noting Werder’s changes under a new coach and modern scouting parity.
- Castello Lukeba is fit to return in central defense, El Chadaille Bitshiabu is out with a thigh injury, and striker Romulo is doubtful with knee irritation.
- BILD reports in-form teenager Yan Diomande returned a day early from Ivory Coast duty to train, having produced three straight goals and six goal involvements in his last three league matches.
