The loan to Leipzig? He had torn his calf muscle and returned overweight. Leipzig wanted him to be immediately available but they realised that he would take a few weeks/months to lose the weight and be available for 90 minutes. He ended up at Napoli on loan instead. He looks very lean now but Farke will have to keep an eye on his weight.
Struijk was bigged up by Farke yesterday and would be the guy in line for the armband without Ampadu. However for me Rodon and Bijal should start unless we play as a back 3 with Struijk on the left? Bijal is too good to sit on the bench
