Hupu September 1st, German media photo newspaper RB Leipzig's late-night report. Although Sheshko and Simmons left, it is also clear that other abandoned players will fulfill their contracts in RB Leipzig and will not leave the club in the summer.

They include Lucas Klosterman (29), Kevin Kanpur (34) and Timo Werner (29). They are all well-deserved players in Leipzig and team-type players. At least, none of them will become troublemakers.

Especially Werner, he has always attracted much attention. The striker rejected the invitation from the Major League Soccer (MLS) club Red Bull, as well as from teams such as France, Italy and England (Leeds United, Burnley).

Werner felt comfortable in Leipzig and reportedly believed he would get some playing time in RB Leipzig. His contract expires next summer at the latest, when he is still free to transfer.

Head coach Werner said of personnel issues: "We will see the team's specific roster on September 2. I won't blame the players who lost the preseason. They performed well in the group stage and in training. However, it's still hard for me to treat all the players fairly."

Since Werner is one of the candidates who will definitely leave the club, he hasn't played in any Test or official matches so far, and he hasn't even made the roster except once. The

club said that the former German national team's forward training form is very good. Is it really impossible for him to come back? On Tuesday, the situation will be re-adjusted.
