RB Leipzig has to do without coach Jesse Marsch and captain Peter Gulacsi in the Champions League at Club Bruges.
As the Bundesliga club announced on Tuesday before departure, both tested positive for the corona virus despite having been fully vaccinated.
Marsch is already in domestic isolation, with Gulacsi, after a positive rapid test, confirmation by a PCR test is still pending.
Bruges - In addition, assistant coach Marco Kurth has had a positive corona test in the family environment, which is why he does not travel to Belgium.
At the game on Wednesday (9 p.m. / DAZN), Achim Beierlorzer will be the head coach on the sidelines.
The club emphasized that in the licensed player area, all players and coaches are either fully vaccinated or have recovered.
With regard to the professional team, the 2G-plus rule has been in use for “some time” and “booster vaccinations will soon be carried out”.
