RB Leipzig have received a timely fitness lift, with several players back in team training before Thursday night’s Champions League opener at Como.

Bild reports that Brajan Gruda and Castello Lukeba have returned to team training, with Romulo and Assan Ouédraogo also involved. Romulo and Ouédraogo have yet to feature this season due to knee and shoulder problems respectively.

Leipzig were without a number of key players in the 3-1 defeat to Werder Bremen at the weekend.

Christoph Baumgartner and Rocco Reitz remain sidelined.

Coach Martin Demichelis is expected to provide further squad updates at his pre-match press conference on Wednesday evening.
