RB Leipzig midfielder Kevin Kampl admits they miss Naby Keita.
Keita left RBL at the end of last season for Liverpool.
"The fact that his departure would be painful for us, we have always said this," said Kampl to Kicker.
"We have to try to put his absence on other shoulders, and of course I'm in charge of that."
Keita left RBL for a fee of €60m.
