He has now started in the club's past 11 matches and should hold that spot moving forward, notching nine goals on 51 shots and two assists on 15 chances created since taking over a starting role.

Mohamed Simakan - Picks up fifth yellow card Simakan will not be an option for Sunday's match against Union Berlin, having picked up his fifth yellow card of the season against Stuttgart on Saturday.

Impact Simakan is heading to the sidelines for the first time this season, having been suspended due to yellow card accumulation. This will be a tough blow for Leipzig, as the defender has appeared in every match this season, only missing out on one start. His most likely replacement will be Benjamin Henrichs, who will fill his role until he is available once again on Feb. 10 against Augsburg.

He will hope to keep getting more time moving forward, as he has only notched four chances created, eight interceptions and 22 tackles in 12 appearances this season.
