Leipzig sweat over fitness of attacking duo

RB Leipzig head into Saturday’s Bundesliga clash with Borussia Mönchengladbach with a couple of injury doubts.

Brajan Gruda, who missed last week’s 2-1 win over Werder Bremen with muscular problems, is set to return to team training on Friday, with a final decision to be made on his availability after the session, the club confirmed on Thursday.

Meanwhile, Danish striker Conrad Harder sat out training on Thursday due to a thigh issue and is a big doubt for the game.

Castello Lukeba will definitely miss out with an adductor injury, while Suleman Sani (hip), Leopold Zingerle (wrist) and Viggo Gebel (cruciate ligament tear) remain sidelined.

The game comes too soon for Peter Gulacsi, despite his return to large parts of team training, meaning Maarten Vandevoordt will start in goal once again.
