Leipzig (AP) - RB Leipzig starts in today's Bundesliga game against VfB Stuttgart with Ibrahima Konaté in defense.
Head coach Julian Nagelsmann gave the French, who, thanks to his release clause, is repeatedly associated with Liverpool FC with regard to a move this summer, in preference to his compatriot Dayot Upamecano.
In the storm, Nagelsmann, who makes four changes, relies on Alexander Sörloth.
Captain Marcel Sabitzer is not in the starting line-up, but is in the squad.
Nagelsmann does not want to take any risks with a view to the DFB Cup semi-finals next Friday at Werder Bremen, after the Austrian's calf pinched again.
Konrad Laimer is back in the squad for the first time after his knee injury.
The Austrian last played on August 18, 2020 in the 3-0 draw in the Champions League semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain.
