RB Leipzig not with Gulacsi in the gate at Babelsberg

Regular goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi will not start in the second round match of Bundesliga club RB Leipzig in the DFB Cup at outsider SV Babelsberg 03.

Coach Jesse Marsch announced on Monday at a press conference in the training academy of the German runner-up that Josep Martinez would play against the regional league team on Tuesday (6.30 p.m.).

Leipzig - "He trained very well and deserved a chance," emphasized Marsch: "He's a great goalkeeper."

The 23-year-old Spaniard did not come to the Leipzig team this season, he moved from UD Las Palmas to RB in the summer of last year.

Otherwise, from a personnel point of view, the use of Konrad Laimer is questionable.

Brian Brobbey and Dani Olmo will be missing - the game will come too early, Marsch said.
