Nusa "at his limit" exclaims Demichelis as Leipzig rotation looms

Antonio Nusa’s involvement for RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga this Saturday against FC Augsburg remains up in the air.

The Norwegian has been struggling with muscular problems following a couple of intense weeks for the Saxony-based club.

Following the 3-2 loss to Manchester City in midweek in which he was subbed off, Martin Demichelis has hinted at giving Nusa a rest.

“We only trained on the pitch for 25 minutes. Warm-up and then a rondo, so no tackles or sprints,” Demichelis said at his press conference.

“Antonio is at his limit, we’ll wait until tomorrow and then decide. If not, it’s a shame because he’s an important player,” he added.

Given his ongoing workload, Demichelis will likely want to avoid any unnecessary risks of the winger sustaining a long-term injury.
