Squad

Vicente Guaita damages knee ligaments — 94 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 94 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market

Péter Gulácsi wants more than RB Leipzig are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Squad

Stiven Palomeque gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Stiven Palomeque has just signed for RB Leipzig, and for once the answer mattered.

Player ratings

Rocco Reitz runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Castello Lukeba in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at RB Leipzig this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Johan Bakayoko

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match

Johan Bakayoko sends RB Leipzig past FC Augsburg

It finished 1‑0, and it was Johan Bakayoko’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to RB Leipzig.

Player ratings

Toni Martínez ran the middle of the pitch — 7.26

He won it back and then made something of it, which is two jobs and the reason the scoreline looks the way it does. 10 combined actions and a mark of 7.26, and not one of them will make a highlights package.

Squad

Raúl Rangel gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Christoph Baumgartner signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Christoph Baumgartner and RB Leipzig agree another 5 years.

Squad

Tempers go at RB Leipzig

Willi Orbán was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

No hiding place for Antonio Nusa

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Antonio Nusa, and the manager let it.

Market

24 months and counting on Péter Gulácsi

Still no offer on the table, and Péter Gulácsi’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

Market

Still no ink between RB Leipzig and Xaver Schlager

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at RB Leipzig, another week without a signature from Xaver Schlager.

Squad

Christoph Baumgartner asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

In brief
