In the middle of this turbulent situation, Xaver Schlager celebrated his comeback after a long injury time. After a cruciate ligament rupture, he was substituted in the 90th minute, which was an important step back into play for the 27-year-old. In a press conference, coach Marco Rose indicated that Schlager could possibly appear on Sunday, playing against Eintracht Frankfurt, even though it was not enough for a full 90 minutes. "When he starts, we're talking about 45 to 60 minutes," said Rose, pointing out that Leipzig will have to do without other injured midfielder on Sunday, including Ouedraogo and Haidara.

The game itself was an early theater for the Leipzig, which quickly fell 0: 3 behind in the first half. Mohammed Amoura shone for Wolfsburg and scored two goals, while Leipzig became too rarely dangerous. Coach Rose also had to change early due to injury, which further impaired the defensive stability. An honor goal by Orban shortly before the end of the encounter could not alleviate the defeat, and the fans of RB Leipzig accompanied this Mostral-surface with a whistle concert during the half-time break. Thanks to this outstanding triumph, Wolfsburg has been undefeated for six games, such as Kicker.de reported.
