RB Leipzig receive injury boost ahead of Como clash

After having to cope without a number of key players in their 3-1 defeat to Werder Bremen at the weekend, RB Leipzig have received a boost ahead of their Champions League opener against Como on Thursday night.

Brajan Gruda and Castello Lukeba, who were both forced to miss the defeat, have returned to team training ahead of the match in Italy, according to Bild.

The same applies to Romulo and Assan Ouédraogo, who have yet to feature this season due to knee and shoulder problems, respectively.

Christoph Baumgartner and Rocco Reitz, meanwhile, remain sidelined.

RB Leipzig coach Martin Demichelis is expected to provide further updates on his squad at his pre-match press conference on Wednesday evening.
