RB Leipzig team news
Central defender Mohamed Simakan spoke to the media before the Werder Bremen match. He said they still haven't accomplished anything this season, but if they win the Cup and secure the Champions League next season, they will be satisfied. He also said the atmosphere is excellent in the dressing room due to many victories and good defensive performances.
A starting central defender, Joško Gvardiol, trained individually this week due to muscle problems and is questionable for the next game.
Konrad Laimer is also questionable with muscular problems. The 25-year-old is one of the team's best midfielders but started only in 45% of Bundesliga matches for RB Leipzig due to injuries.
Due to a long-term injury, Peter Gulacsi will remain sidelined.

Werder Bremen team news
Niclas Fullkrug is the Bundesliga's top goalscorer with 16 goals. Unfortunately for Werder Bremen, the 30-year-old striker missed the last four games due to a calf injury and will most likely miss the RB Leipzig game too.
Amos Pieper suffered an injury in the last match against Bayern and had to be substituted after 55 minutes. Pieper is one of the team's best central defenders this season.
Two backup players will also miss the game with injuries: Dikeni Salifou and Felix Agu.
