RB Leipzig may miss captain Willi Orban in the top match in the Bundesliga against Union Berlin on Saturday. The reason is that Orban will donate stem cells in Dresden on Wednesday. His club confirmed this after reporting in Bild. He has been receiving preparatory injections since last Saturday. With such a procedure, it is recommended not to exercise for up to ten days.
Orban (30) has been registered in the database of the German bone marrow donor center since 2017. Players of the current number 4 of the Bundesliga signed up as part of a campaign at the time. Orban indicated in Bild that he never had any doubts. “This is an opportunity to save a human life with very little effort. I hope that I can help my receiver to heal completely. Of course I will probably miss the game against Union Berlin now, but that is of secondary importance. Who me know that I will do everything I can to rejoin the team as soon as possible,” said Orban.
With Union Berlin, Leipzig will meet the number 2 of the Bundesliga on Saturday.
