He added the plan is to increase Lukeba’s workload over the next few days, with the hope he can return for the coming games.
It is unclear whether he will be available for Leipzig’s rescheduled match at FC St. Pauli on Tuesday.
Werner said they are taking it day by day and voiced definite hope over his progress.
El Chadaille Bitshiabu was identified as the logical option to partner Willi Orban in central defence.
Leipzig are also without Assan Ouedraogo, Johan Bakayoko and Viggo Gebel.
