On Tuesday, RB Leipzig faces a difficult hurdle in the Champions League.
But opponents Paris seem weakened in the attack: At least two stars are not ready for action.
Leipzig - With zero points after two games, RB Leipzig is at the bottom of the table in Champions League Group A. On the third day of the game there is a difficult hurdle - the away game with the star troupe from Paris St. Germain.
The French, along with Manchester City, are undoubtedly favorites to advance.

Also in defense, Paris St. Germain have to do without a support against RB Leipzig: The Spanish central defender Sergio Ramos is out.
“The player's health comes first.
It's just a minor problem and it will hopefully be resolved in a few days, ”coach Mauricio Pochettino said at a press conference about Neymar's injury.
Whether PSG can be called "weakened" because of this in the CL match (all news about the premier class) appears to be questionable: In the attack, the coach can still rely on Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé.
“We are very satisfied with the integration of Leo Messi.
He feels better and better, ”said ex-Tottenham coach Pochettino.
