The pick will join Lois Openda and Benjamin Sesko, with Sesko scoring in RB's Champions League debut for two consecutive seasons, while Openda had 28 goals in 44 games last season.
Eljif Elmas could be fit enough to make the bench, but Leipzig will be without Kevin Kampl (adductor), Assan Ouedraogo and Xaver Schlager (both knee injuries).
Juventus could be without Timothy Weah (ankle), while Arkadiusz Milik is yet to feature this season due to a knee injury sustained on international duty. However, Francisco Conceicao scored late on after returning from a thigh injury.
Dusan Vlahovic, who scored twice against Genoa, will lead the Bianconeri's attack in Germany, with support from Teun Koopmeiners, Nico Gonzalez and Kenan Yildiz. In goal, Michele Di Gregorio is expected to return in place of Mattia Perin.

Latest football commentary RB Leipzig vs Juventus
Facing a challenging schedule in the Champions League group stage, Leipzig will be desperate to get at least a point from their first match at the Metropolitano, where they will face Atletico Madrid, one of their strongest opponents. In addition to Atletico, Die Roten Bullen will face other big names such as Juventus and Inter Milan, along with Liverpool, Portuguese champions Sporting Lisbon, and Aston Villa, who are in good form in the Premier League.
Despite taking an early lead through Benjamin Sesko, Leipzig were levelled by Atletico before half-time and lost 2-1 in the 90th minute. It was a rare defeat in Leipzig's 19-match unbeaten run in all competitions. They have since bounced back with four points from their next two Bundesliga games, including a 4-0 win over Augsburg last weekend, which has taken them up to third in the table.
Benjamin Sesko scored twice in the last game at the Red Bull Arena, boosting the team's confidence ahead of their first Champions League match against an Italian opponent.
Meanwhile, Juventus have also made an impressive start under coach Thiago Motta. They won their Champions League return against PSV 3-1, with 19-year-old Kenan Yildiz scoring the opener. Yildiz also became Juventus' youngest ever goalscorer in the Champions League. However, the team conceded the only goal in stoppage time, but are still unbeaten after seven games this season.
After a run of three goalless draws in Serie A, Juventus cruised to an impressive 3-0 win over Genoa, with Dusan Vlahovic scoring twice in the second half. While some of their new signings have yet to find form, Juve are now well placed to improve their poor away record in continental competition.
They have lost four of their last five away Champions League games, including their last three, marking their longest losing streak in a decade. Motta is determined to end that run and become only the third Juventus manager to win his first two UEFA Champions League games, following in the footsteps of Marcello Lippi and Fabio Capello.
