RB Leipzig captain Willi Orban is not threatened with an injury layoff after the international match against the Czech Republic. The Hungarian international footballer was substituted after just one hour in Sunday night's 1-1 draw in Budapest. However, coach Marco Rossi gave the all-clear. "Orban had tired legs, so we had to change in defense. After that we lost a little confidence and conceded a goal," said the Italian. Thus, nothing should stand in the way of a deployment Orban in the Bundesliga on Saturday (15.30 clock/Sky) against FC Augsburg.

The long injured with a cruciate ligament tear Peter Gulacsi was for the first time again in the 25-member lineup of Hungary for the European Championship qualifier in Serbia (2:1) and the test match against the Czech Republic. However, the goalkeeper was not in the matchday squad for either encounter.
