Kevin Kampl is not out for the long term. Nevertheless, coach Rose needs fresh forces at FC St. Pauli. If necessary, the decision will only be made in Hamburg, "who gets out of bed how early".

Kevin Kampl will not be out for the long term at RB Leipzig. Head coach Marco Rose gave the all-clear after the MRI examination. "He came back very happy. The MRI wasn't that wild, we're not talking about being out for months or many weeks," said Rose.

However, it will be too early for him to play this Sunday (19:00/DAZN) in the Bundesliga at FC St. Pauli. Midfielder Kampl had to miss the Champions League game at Atlético Madrid (1-2) at short notice due to adductor problems.

Rose wants to continue rotating the squad as he did in Madrid. "The lads are all undergoing a check. It was an intense game. The lads left everything on the pitch," said Rose. "We'll definitely bring in fresh players, we'll see how many fresh players we get now. We'll see who gets out of bed early in Hamburg."

Will the Saxons' league run continue?

After their first competitive defeat in seven months in Madrid, RB's 14-game unbeaten run in the Bundesliga this season could also come to an end at the Millerntor in Hamburg. But if Leipzig score, it would set the club record from 2019.

"Another great game awaits us. We have to give it 100 percent. If you're not 100 per cent, they'll eat you up," said midfielder Christoph Baumgartner.
