Castello Lukeba - Ruled out with muscular problems Lukeba (undisclosed) is not available for Saturday's match in Bremen due to muscular problems, according to the club.

Impact Lukeba made 26 Bundesliga appearances last season, scoring one goal while keeping eight clean sheets, establishing himself as one of Leipzig's most reliable defensive presences. His absence opens the door for Maxime Esteve to take on a larger role in central defense, and his path back to full training will be worth monitoring as Leipzig continues its season.

Assan Ouedraogo - Not an option Saturday Ouedraogo (shoulder) is ruled out for Saturday's Bundesliga clash against Werder Bremen.

Impact Ouedraogo has been unable to earn a place in the matchday squad despite completing two full days of team training and coach Martin Demichelis expressing a desire to have him involved straight away following the shoulder injury that had kept him sidelined for around four weeks. Friday's crucial session ultimately proved insufficient to clear the midfielder for competitive action, with the shoulder's response to the increased workload and physical contact leaving the coaching staff unwilling to take any risks.

Senne Lynen - Not available Saturday Lynen (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Leipzig.

Impact Lynen has been unable to pass his late fitness test despite coach Daniel Thioune expressing optimism about his involvement and keeping him off the absentee list following the uncertainty that emerged after his substitution at Freiburg. The midfielder had only recently returned from the abdominal muscle issue that had kept him out of the final preseason friendly, and Bremen ultimately decided against risking him for the Leipzig fixture. He recorded 63 tackles, 78 interceptions and 96 clearances across 31 starts last season, making his absence a notable concern for a side that relies heavily on his defensive contribution in the middle of the park.
