Subrata Pal starts training at RB Leipzig tonight

Indian international and Prayag United SC goalkeeper Subrata Pal arrived in Leipzig on Saturday after flying in from Kolkata via Mumbai and Frankfurt/Main for his trial-cum-training stint with German fourth Division (Regionalliga Nordost) side RB Leipzig. Tonight he starts his practice.

Subrata after arriving in Leipzig was given time by RB Leipzig to accustom himself to the new surroundings and weather conditions then it was cool over the weekend for an European summer. Subrata got to see the facilities of RB Leipzig, a little bit of the city and yesterday he took part at the club organised youth camp for 8 to 12 year old kids. A great experience as Subrata said!

With the senior team of RB Leipzig currently away on a week-long pre-season training camp in Bad Aussee in Austria which ends tomorrow; Subrata will train with the Under-23 team of RB Leipzig, who play in the sixth division Landesliga Sachsen, to get acclimatised to German football conditions. He has his first training session with RB Leipzig's Under-23 this evening at 18.30 CET.

The two week trial-cum-training trip to Germany has been made possible by the Indian division of Red Bull, who are the owners of RB Leipzig and who have signed a one year deal with Subrata Pal to help develop the goalkeeper further with his career.
