Tyler Adams is not RB Leipzig’s only new signing of the 2019 January transfer window, but he is the only one fit and ready to train right now - which meant he was always likely to field a lot of attention on RBL’s first day of its January training camp.
RBL opened its two-week winter training stint with a public session in front of about 500 fans. The session didn’t just serve to introduce Adams to his new teammates and RBL supporters, it also illustrated just how badly the squad needs reinforcements: five players - including Adam’s fellow new recruit, Amadou Haidara - are currently unavailable for various reasons, leaving Leipzig with just 18 outfield players for the first team’s opening practice of the new year.
