Hannes Wolf is doing well in his recovery from the broken ankle he suffered during the European Under-21 Championship in the summer.

Wolf was expected to be out until 2020, but the 20-year-old says he might be able to feature for RB Leipzig in December if everything goes according to plan.

"The plan is that in the next one to two weeks, I will be slowly integrated into team training with warm-up exercises and passing drills," Wolf told MZ and added:

"If no further problems arise and I find my form again quickly, I could be ready to play again at the beginning of December."

RB Leipzig paid €12 million to sign Wolf from Red Bull Salzburg in the summer.
