Pressure grows on RB Leipzig coach Ole Werner
Having won just one of their last six games across all competitions, RB Leipzig head into Sunday’s away game against Hamburger SV in desperate need of a victory.
Leipzig’s recent struggles have seen them slip out of the top four and put their goal of returning to the Champions League – following last season’s disappointing seventh-place finish – in jeopardy.
According to Bild, the work of RB Leipzig coach Ole Werner is increasingly being questioned internally.
Chelsea will be without two key men against Arsenal
Chelsea will be without two key players when they face Arsenal in the Premier League this weekend.
The Blues are fully aware of the importance of this fixture. Victory is essential for their ambitions, while Arsenal equally cannot afford defeat, heightening the tension surrounding a contest between two direct rivals with significant objectives. Both sides have had a full week to prepare, leaving little room for fatigue to be cited as an excuse.
India may have secured a comfortable win over Zimbabwe, but not everything went perfectly on the night. All-rounder Shivam Dube endured a tough spell with the ball, leaking 46 runs in just two overs as the sixth bowling option. While he has previously delivered handy contributions when captain Suryakumar Yadav has called upon him, this outing was far from ideal.
Dube looked short of rhythm and control, struggling to maintain a consistent line and length. He failed to hit the off-side cut strip regularly and compounded matters with four wides and a couple of no-balls.
