Nicolas Seiwald - Drops into rotational role Seiwald began the season as a starter but has come off the bench in each of the last two matches.
Impact Seiwald has seen his role decrease after opening the campaign in the starting XI, with Neil El Aynaoui establishing himself as a regular and Ezechiel Banzuzi also competing for minutes in defensive midfield. Seiwald has recorded five tackles, four interceptions and three clearances across three Bundesliga appearances. He should remain involved in the midfield rotation, though his recent move to the bench creates uncertainty over his chances of regular starts.

Orjan Nyland - Second in goalkeeping hierarchy Nyland has been operating as the second-choice goalkeeper behind Maarten Vandevoordt this season.
Impact Nyland remains behind Maarten Vandevoordt in the goalkeeping hierarchy, leaving him with a limited path to regular playing time. His experience provides reliable depth at the position, but his opportunities should largely depend on rotation or Vandevoordt being unavailable.

Neil El Aynaoui - Quickly secures starting role El Aynaoui has started four consecutive matches across all competitions since arriving from Roma.
Impact El Aynaoui has immediately established himself as a regular in midfield following his arrival, starting every match during his opening run with the club. He has attempted seven shots while creating two chances and adding six tackles and five interceptions across four appearances in all competitions. His combination of attacking involvement and defensive work has helped him quickly secure a prominent role in midfield.

Maxime Esteve - Providing defensive depth Esteve has made three Bundesliga appearances this season while operating primarily as a reserve option in central defense.
Impact Esteve remains behind Castello Lukeba in the central defensive hierarchy but has benefited from Lukeba's recurring injury absences to earn playing time. He has recorded two tackles, three interceptions and 12 clearances across three Bundesliga appearances. Esteve should continue to provide reliable cover and could see further opportunities whenever Lukeba is unavailable.

Benjamin Henrichs - Serving as backup at right-back Henrichs has been operating primarily as a backup option at right-back this season.
Impact Henrichs remains behind Ridle Baku in the right-back hierarchy, limiting his opportunities for regular starts. His experience and versatility still make him a useful defensive option, but Baku's position as the preferred starter leaves Henrichs primarily dependent on rotation or absences for increased playing time.

Tidiam Gomis - Leaves France U21 camp Gomis has left France's U21 camp early as a precautionary measure, due to minor lower leg discomfort suffered in the recent Bundesliga match against Bayer Leverkusen, according to...
Impact Gomis took a light blow to the lower leg during that match, and both the French federation and RB Leipzig's medical department jointly agreed to send him back to Leipzig early to avoid any unnecessary injury risk. He had recently scored in the rout of Hamburger SV, continuing to be one of the positive stories for Leipzig early this season, and the club will hope he is fully available again once the international break concludes.

Brajan Gruda - Diagnosed with abdominal strain Gruda has been diagnosed with a lateral abdominal muscle strain after being forced off during Sunday's 2-0 loss to Bayer Leverkusen and will not join the Germany squad during the i...
Impact Gruda's early exit against Leverkusen has now been confirmed as an abdominal muscle strain after he initially appeared to be dealing with a hip issue. The forward will use the international break to recover rather than joining Germany, though no specific timetable for his return has been provided. His status for the first match after the break remains uncertain, with Tidiam Gomis among the options to take on a larger role if Gruda remains unavailable.
SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE
Brajan Gruda - Precautionary withdrawal Gruda was forced off as a precaution after taking a blow to the hip during Sunday's 2-0 loss to Bayer Leverkusen, according to coach Martin Demichelis. "He received a blow to the h...
Impact Gruda's withdrawal in the 26th minute was made with caution in mind, with manager Demichelis noting the forward himself did not want to take any risks, and Tidiam Gomis replacing him. Further clarity on his availability for upcoming matches should emerge during the international break.
SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE
Johan Bakayoko - Late scratch with contusion Bakayoko (undisclosed) was a last minute scratch for Sunday's 2-0 loss to Bayer Leverkusen, according to coach Martin Demichelis, according to Kicker. "Baka was suffering from a co...
Impact Bakayoko had already missed the previous two matches and remained on the bench for the Champions League opener against Como, so his absence here should not significantly impact the starting lineup given his already limited recent involvement. His recovery timeline from the knock he suffered in training will continue to be monitored during the international break.
SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE
David Raum - Leader in crosses, chances created Raum crossed 13 times (five accurate) and created four chances during Sunday's 2-0 loss to Leverkusen.
Impact Raum was held off the scoresheet despite being the main creator for Leipzig as he led the team in crosses and chances created. The fullback has combined for two shots, 13 chances created and 37 crosses over his last three starts, but is yet to have a goal involvement this season.
SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE
Antonio Nusa - Creates two chances Nusa took two off target shots and created two chances during Sunday's 2-0 loss to Leverkusen.
Impact Nusa was held off the scoresheet while finishing with the second most shots and chances created on the team. The attacker has three goal involvements to go along with six shots, five chances created and four crosses over his last three league starts.
SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE
Maarten Vandevoordt - Concedes in each half Vandevoordt allowed two goals while making four saves during Sunday's 2-0 loss to Leverkusen.
Impact Vandevoordt allowed a goal in each half as Leipzig dropped all three points Sunday. The keeper has allowed five goals while combining for 12 saves and keeping a clean sheet over his last three league starts. Leipzig take on Frankfurt at home following the international break.
SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE
Brajan Gruda - Forced off with injury Gruda was forced off with an apparent injury in the 25th minute of Sunday's match against Leverkusen, according to the club.
Impact Gruda was unable to continue after experiencing an issue midway through the first half, with Tidiam Gomis replacing him in the 25th minute. The nature and severity of the injury remain unclear, and further assessment will be needed to determine whether the winger is facing any time on the sidelines. Gomis would be among the candidates for increased minutes if Gruda is forced to miss additional matches.
SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE
Castello Lukeba - Out against Leverkusen Lukeba is not in the squad for Sunday's match against Bayer Leverkusen as a precaution due to minor groin discomfort.
Impact Lukeba is being held out of Sunday's clash with Leverkusen after experiencing minor groin discomfort, with his absence described as precautionary. The nature of the issue suggests Leipzig are avoiding taking any unnecessary risk with the center-back rather than dealing with a significant injury. Maxime Esteve replaces him in the starting XI and could continue to cover in central defense if Lukeba requires additional recovery time.
SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE
Rocco Reitz - Resumes individual training Reitz (thigh) has resumed individual work on the pitch as he continues his recovery from a muscular injury to the front of his thigh, the club announced.
Impact Reitz has taken another step toward his return roughly two weeks after suffering the thigh injury, with the midfielder now progressing to individual work on the grass. He remains short of a return to team training and is therefore unlikely to be available in the immediate future, but the latest development keeps him moving toward a potential return following the international break.
SEPTEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE
Christoph Baumgartner - Eyeing October return Baumgartner (thigh) is expected to return to the pitch following the October international break as he continues his recovery from a torn thigh tendon, according to Leipziger Volks...
Impact Baumgartner has been sidelined for several months with the significant thigh injury and will remain unavailable for Sunday's clash against Bayer Leverkusen. The attacker has previously indicated that his rehabilitation remains on schedule, and the latest update provides a clearer target for his return to on-field work. Leipzig's first Bundesliga match after the break comes against Eintracht Frankfurt on Oct. 10, though it remains unclear whether Baumgartner will be ready for the squad by then or will initially need additional time in training.
SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE
Rocco Reitz - Targeting post-break return Reitz (thigh) is expected to return to the pitch following the October international break as he continues his recovery from a muscular injury to his left thigh, according to Leipz...
Impact Reitz will remain unavailable for Sunday's clash against Bayer Leverkusen but appears to be approaching the final stages of his recovery. Leipzig won't play again until Oct. 10 against Eintracht Frankfurt, giving the midfielder additional time to work toward his return. While the report doesn't confirm Reitz will be ready for the matchday squad against Frankfurt, he's expected to be back on the pitch by then and should move closer to rejoining team training.
SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE
Assan Ouedraogo - Requires surgery for shoulder injury Ouedraogo will require surgery for a capsule injury in his right shoulder sustained during the home match against Hamburg, according to the club.
Impact Ouedraogo's injury is confirmed to be a recurrence of the same issue that kept him out all of August during preseason, forcing him off after 35 minutes following a duel with Albert Gronbaek. This surgical route now confirms a significant absence ahead, coming just after he had finally made his first competitive appearances of the season, and will also cost him a spot in national team coach Jurgen Klopp's first squad selection.
SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE
Assan Ouedraogo - Suffers recurrence of shoulder injury Ouedraogo is suffering a recurrence of the shoulder injury from preseason, and could miss national team coach Jurgen Klopp's first squad selection as a result, according to Sky Spo...
Impact Ouedraogo was forced off after 35 minutes of the recent 5-0 win over Hamburg following a duel with Albert Gronbaek, an injury coach Martin Demichelis believes is the same capsule issue that kept him out all of August during preseason. Demichelis said that it doesn't look good, with the midfielder now facing a potential absence of several weeks just after finally making his first competitive appearances of the season.
SEPTEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE
Maarten Vandevoordt - Four saves for win Vandevoordt registered four saves and secured a clean sheet in Sunday's 5-0 victory over Hamburger SV.
Impact Vandevoordt was surprisingly busy in a game that Leipzig dominated right from the start. He made four saves and well earned his clean sheet during the rout. Vandevoordt is going to be tested in a huge way during the coming weeks, as he looks towards one of the hardest five-game stretches possible, including showdowns with Real Madrid and Munich.
SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE
Ezechiel Banzuzi - Assists with two chances Banzuzi assisted once to go with one cross (one accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 5-0 victory versus Hamburger SV.
Impact Banzuzi created a pair of chances during Sunday's rout. The midfielder was a big part of the match and a creative dynamo throughout the showdown. The midfielder should be able to build off this and if he can work more into the first team he should have the chance to be a consistent offensive contributor.
SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE
Tidiam Gomis - Nets in win Gomis scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 5-0 victory against Hamburger SV.
Impact Gomis scored during Sunday's win as well as creating a chance during the rout. It was a solid showing though this wasn't a competitive match, so it's not surprising that he did so well. Gomis will have to show that he can maintain this level against stronger opposition if he wants to earn more minutes.
SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE
Willi Orban - Rare goal Orban scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) in Sunday's 5-0 victory over Hamburger SV.
Impact Orban is a truly defensively-minded center-back and isn't one to get forward very often but he did just that during Sunday's win. He took three shots and scored a goal during an excellent showing all-around. The captain and veteran defender isn't likely to have much offensive upside going forward though.
SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE
Christopher Nkunku - Scores in return Nkunku scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 5-0 win against Hamburger SV.
Impact Nkunku scored once on four shots and looked back to his best now that he's back in Leipzig. He was moving well throughout the match and caused issues everytime he got on the ball. This is obviously not one of the hard matches on the schedule, but it's still an encouraging performance during a total rout.
SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE
Antonio Nusa - Goal, pair of assists in win Antonio Nusa scored one goal and assisted twice from two shots and three chances created in Sunday's 5-0 victory versus Hamburger SV.
Impact Nusa provided a goal and a pair of assists during a brilliant showing in a rout Sunday. The match was never competitive at any point, and Nusa was unstoppable throughout. Nusa will be a big part of the starting XI throughout this season with plenty of upside every time he starts.
