Controlled Centre Back
LeipzigNets eventual game winner
Orban scored a goal with his lone shot while blocking two shots and making eight clearances during Saturday's 2-1 win over St. Pauli.
Analysis: Orban scored what wound up being the game winning goal in the 54th minute while leading Leipzig in blocks and clearances on the other end of the pitch. The goal was the first since January for the defender as he's combined for nine tackles, 20 clearances and four blocks over his last three starts.
Back available Friday
Orban (thigh) is fully available for Friday's clash against Union Berlin and is expected to return to the starting lineup, according to coach Ole Werner. "Orban is in top shape."
Analysis: Orban's return is a timely boost for Leipzig's defensive unit, as the center-back is an undisputed starter when fit. His presence should provide an immediate upgrade at the back as Leipzig head into a demanding stretch of fixtures. The timing of his return is particularly welcome given that Castello Lukeba remains sidelined with an adductor issue, leaving the defense short on options.
