APRIL 23 • ROTOWIRE

David Raum - Out Saturday Raum will miss Friday's clash against Union Berlin due to a groin irritation and hopes to return for next week's fixture against Leverkusen, according to coach Ole Werner. "David R...

Impact Raum is an undisputed starter at left-back for Leipzig and one of the more important pieces in the team's setup, having contributed three goals and six assists this season while also shouldering a share of set-piece responsibilities. Coach Ole Werner's comments suggest the club is being cautious rather than dealing with a structural injury, which is an encouraging sign for his chances of featuring against Leverkusen next week. Max Finkgrafe is expected to start at left-back in his absence until Raum is cleared to return.

APRIL 23 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Lukeba did not train at all this week, marking a setback after he had appeared to be progressing toward a return. The situation has become harder to predict given the back-and-forth nature of the recovery, with no firm timeline offered beyond ruling him out for Saturday. El Chadaille Bitshiabu is expected to continue filling in at center-back in his absence, with Lukeba's availability for the following week's clash against Leverkusen to be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
