Leipzig (AP) - Julian Nagelsmann starts with RB Leipzig without a trained striker in the decisive group game of the Champions League against Manchester United.
Dani Olmo will play at the top ahead of Christopher Nkunku and Emil Forsberg this Tuesday evening.
After the 0-5 bankruptcy at Old Trafford, Nagelsmann initially relies on a three-man chain in the second leg.
"We have chosen the staff so that we can go to four (defenders) without problems, that we are flexible," said coach Julian Nagelsmann shortly before the kick-off at Sky.
For the yellow-banned defender Dayot Upamecano, Will Orban moves to Ibrahima Konaté's side in central defense, while Nordi Mukiele and Angeliño defend on the outside.
It hurts that Upamecano is not allowed to play, said Nagelsmann, "because he is an outstanding defender".

The English record champions did without the last strong Paul Pogba in the starting line-up.
For this, coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ordered Alex Telles from defense into offensive midfield.
In addition, he relies on the single point Marcus Rashford, who scored three goals in the last 16 minutes in the first leg.
A draw is enough for the Red Devils to advance to the round of 16.
RB has to win to make it safely to the knockout stage.
