Demichelis gives Gruda injury update and verdict after RB Leipzig’s 2-0 loss at Leverkusen | OneFootball

RB Leipzig’s 2-0 defeat at Bayer Leverkusen was compounded by a first-half injury to Brajan Gruda, with head coach Martín Demichelis offering cautious reassurance and reflecting on the display in comments to ARD.

After a 5-0 thrashing of Hamburger SV, Leipzig were brought back down to earth on Sunday with a 2-0 Bundesliga reverse away to Bayer Leverkusen.

Gruda was forced off before the break. His involvement with Germany in the international window is in doubt. Further tests will determine any structural damage, though Demichelis said they took no risks and he does not think it is serious.

Demichelis felt Leipzig were very dominant in the first half and that the match was decided by small details. He added the group believe defeats are down to fine margins, that they must be honest with each other and fight, and that there is only one way forward.

The defeat leaves Leipzig ninth in the Bundesliga going into the international break.
