Could affect Spurs quite a bit as he was getting back in to form after his suspension deputising for Kane. Lucas Moura up front? Didn't he play just this week?

If I recall correctly he did it quite early on and must have played a lot of the game with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More pressure on us i guess, Jose will have every excuse to lose and if he wins he will be regarded a mastermind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 The balance of the tie just went heavily in Leipzig’s favour for me. Son being out is a hammer blow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 RB Leipzig are facing a crisis in this match against Spurs, with no recognised central defender available for this encounter. Their star defender Upamecano is suspended for this game, while the other central defenders, Konate and Hungarian international captain Orban, are out injured. It is thought that Nagelsmann will resort to partnering fullbacks Halstenberg and Klostermann in central defence, with Angelino and Mukiele playing as the fullbacks. Midfielders Tyler Adams and Kevin Kampl are also out, with Adams suffering from a torn muscle injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He led the line several times last season for Spurs when Kane and Son were out. He didn't do too badly against Ajax in the Champions League semi-finals last season either. He only scored a hattrick against Ajax, which sealed Spurs a place in the final against Liverpool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB Leipzig have gone for a logical defensive formation for this match. But I am not sure about their decision to play Ampadu in central defence, I am not his biggest fan.
