Timo Werner is a candidate to start against FC Köln after making a good impression in training following his move from Chelsea earlier this week.
“The first impressions of Timo were very good,” revealed RB Leipzig coach Domenico Tedesco at today’s pre-match press conference.
“We chatted about one or two things. I’m pleased that he’s with us. He’ll help us and is an option for Saturday’s game.
“Of course we have a lot of options, and Timo is a flexible player. He can play on the wing and is a great fit for a 3-4-3, on the left, on the right or centrally.
“I also think he’s exciting as part of a duo up front. We will see.”
