LISBON (Reuters) - RB Leipzig coach Julian Nagelsmann has shrugged off the absence of leading scorer Timo Werner, saying it will not affect their chances of beating Atletico Madrid in Thursday's Champions League quarter-final.

Werner joined Premier League club Chelsea last month after scoring 34 goals in all competitions for Leipzig this season, leaving a gaping hole in their attack.

"But it's not as if we have to play with a man less. We have the ability in midfield and attack to score goals. We have players who played little because of Timo and those players who were in the shadows can now take the responsibility." But because of the COVID-19 interruption, Leipzig finished their Bundesliga campaign at the end of June and had to wait nearly six weeks for the Champions League 'Final Eight' mini-tournament in Lisbon.
