Marcel Sabitzer fails: shock for RB Leipzig in the derby!

In the decisive Bundesliga top game between Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig, there was a painful incident: Marcel Sabitzer had to be injured in the first half. The midfielder twisted in a duel with his national team colleague Christoph Baumgartner and also collided with teammates Pascal Groß. In the 33rd minute, Sabitzer, supported by supervisors and with tears, left the field. At that time, Leipzig already led 1-0, such as laola1.at reported.

The exact consequences of Sabitzer's injury are not yet known, but it is questionable for the upcoming international match against Serbia. The situation not only presses the mood in Leipzig, where coach Marco Rose is under pressure, but also has an impact on the entire Bundesliga season. Before the kick-off, Dortmund was with seven points behind a Champions League-Platz under considerable pressure, such as FussballTransfers.com noted. Despite the already secured Champions League placement against OSC Lille, there is hope of making the league exciting again and collecting important points against direct competitors.

coach Niko Kovac therefore relied on the successful eleven from the game against Lille, in which Julian Brandt, despite his weaker form, continues to get trust. The team will try to improve the predicament, while expectations for the players and the coaches rise. The upcoming game could therefore be crucial for the chances of promotion in the league.
