Leipzig coach shrugs off Werner absence: Champions League - football news

The Hindu  

RB Leipzig coach Julian Nagelsmann has shrugged off the absence of leading scorer Timo Werner, saying it will not affect its chances of beating Atletico Madrid in Thursday's Champions League quarterfinal. Werner joined Premier League club Chelsea last month after scoring 34 goals in all competitions for Leipzig this season, leaving a gaping hole in its attack. We have players who played little because of Timo and those players who were in the shadows can now take the responsibility.” In a normal season, Werner would have stayed with Leipzig until the end of its Champions League campaign. But because of the COVID-19 interruption, Leipzig finished its Bundesliga campaign at the end of June and had to wait nearly six weeks for the Champions League 'Final Eight' mini-tournament in Lisbon.
