El Chadaille Bitshiabu will spend several weeks on the sidelines with a thigh injury. Castello Lukeba and Kosta Nedeljkovic are both facing a race to be fit in time for Sunday's visit of Werder Bremen. Romulo's training load was reduced in the week, but the striker should be ready to lead the line in gameweek 11. RB Leipzig went into the international break on a sour note after Yan Diomande's ninth-minute opener was cancelled out by three Hoffenheim goals in a humbling away defeat at the PreZero Arena. That result ended an eight-game unbeaten streak, which itself contained seven Bundesliga victories. Werder Bremen, meanwhile, entered the two-week break in fine form. Late goals from Jens Stage and Samuel Mbangula sealed a 2-1 comeback win against Wolfsburg in gameweek 10, ending Paul Simonis' tenure in the process. The visitors are unbeaten in five, heading to the Red Bull Arena.
