Leipzig – RB Leipzig can rely on attacker Christopher Nkunku (25) again.

The Frenchman returned to full team training on Tuesday after tearing his lateral ligament while preparing with the national team for the World Cup in Qatar.
This means that Leipzig coach Marco Rose (46) has one more important person available. Also back on the field was Willi Orban (30), who missed the 2-1 defeat against 1. FC Union Berlin last weekend due to a stem cell removal.
Konrad Laimer (26), who had to be substituted on Saturday with adductor problems, only took part individually, as did Marcel Halstenberg (31, muscular problems). Benjamin Henrichs (25) ended team training early for load-control reasons.

However, the use of the three in the game on Saturday at VfL Wolfsburg (3:30 p.m. / Sky) should not be at risk.
Nkunku will probably be back in the squad for the Lower Saxony, who with his twelve goals is still the best shooter at RB despite his failure. In addition, the attacker is in second place in the overall Bundesliga list.
