Nkunku pleased to be back from injury: "It was a very difficult time for me"
RB Leipzig star Christopher Nkunku was overjoyed to make his return from injury after "a very difficult time" on the sidelines.
Christopher Nkunku made his long-awaited comeback from a knee injury that kept him out for several months as he came on from the bench to set up a goal in RB Leipzig's 3-0 win over Wolfsburg at Volkswagen Arena today.
Unsurprisingly, the Frenchman was pleased to be back on the pitch after some "very difficult" months on the sidelines.
"It is a really nice feeling. I'm very happy to be back on the pitch with my teammates and a 3-0 win is good for our self confidence," Nkunku said in a post-match interview.
"It was a very difficult time for me. But that's all in the past now and I'm concentrating on the team. I feel good, but I'm not in perfect physical condition, and I have to carry on working hard."
Nkunku has scored 17 goals and provided five assists in 24 games for Leipzig this season.
