Marsch explains why Moriba hasn’t played much for RB Leipzig

Manager Jesse Marsch has stated reasons why Ilaix Moriba has not played much yet for RB Leipzig since joining from Barcelona.

After two years with the Blaugrana, the Spain youth international of Bissau Guinea descent joined the Red Bulls in August on a four-year deal, with the option of an extra year.

Since making his debut against Bochum on October 2, he has found playing time difficult at the Red Bull Arena – featuring in three matches in all competitions in the 2021-22 campaign.

Ahead of Wednesday’s blockbuster Uefa Champions League fixture against Paris Saint-Germain, the tactician explained why the 18-year-old has been a fringe player in his squad.
