Starting XI, captain, goal scorer and 250th game in RB jersey. Sunday at 5-0 in Mainz was as if it had been painted for Leipzig striker Yussuf Poulsen (25)!
“A value that goes down in RB history books,” says trainer Julian Nagelsmann (32). But not too long.
The shock Monday: An MRI examination revealed a ligament injury in the right ankle. The Dane is out for weeks, maybe even for the rest of the season.
