The defending champion has to go!
In the DFB Cup, defending champions must RB Leipzig on Tuesday in the 2nd round against HSV, kick-off is at 6 p.m. While Leipzig defeated Freiburg in the final last year and was able to lift the trophy for the first time, the semi-finals were the last stop for Hamburg. “We have to be brave and we have to be determined,” announces HSV coach Tim Walter (46) before the game on Tuesday.
Bitter for RB: Top scorer Christopher Nkunku (24) will not be available for the game, the Frenchman had to undergo a small operation on his right wrist and will miss the Saxons. Goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi (32/torn cruciate ligament), Lukas Klostermann (26/ruptured syndesmosis ligament), Dani Olmo (24/partial ligament tear in the knee) and Konrad Laimer (25/ankle syndesmosis injury) are also out of the cup fight with HSV.
Playmaker Emil Forsberg (30) is still a question mark, the Swede had to be replaced early due to adductor problems in the win against Hertha (3-2). “I have to see how it looks with the hips,” says Forsberg himself.
HSV travels to Leipzig with a 3-0 derby defeat against St. Pauli. Coach Tim Walter reveals his plan for winning against Leipzig: “We have to be brave and we have to be determined. We must want the ball. That’s important, because if you always allow yourself to be put under pressure and let the opponent do their thing and don’t counteract it with any intensity, then it can quickly look like the first half at Leipzig on Saturday.”
