Werner is still not on the roster, Leipzig director: coach will not leave the best players at home

This Sunday, Leipzig sports director Sheffield talked about Werner's situation in the team. He said Werner's performance was very professional and we maintained good communication. He was not depressed.

◉Werner missed the roster again in RB Leipzig's match against Mainz on Saturday. Since returning from Tottenham on loan this summer, the forward has not yet entered the matchday lineup.

Schaefer said: "The situation is that the coach still decides to prioritize other players on the roster."

◉ Regarding Werner's prospects in Leipzig

Schaefer said: "So we advised him in the summer that if he wants to be the main player and get more playing time, maybe it's better to look for another opportunity. But we respect the contract, he is part of our roster, everything is based on competitive performance. I've never seen a coach who will leave the best players at home and not bring them into the roster."
