Rômulo a doubt for RB Leipzig opener against Borussia Mönchengladbach | OneFootball

Rômulo is a doubt for RB Leipzig’s Bundesliga opener against Borussia Mönchengladbach after missing the DFB Pokal win at Eintracht Trier.

The club said the 24-year-old Brazilian has knee tendon irritation and has not joined team training as Martin Demichelis prepares for his first Bundesliga match in charge.

Ørjan Nyland, with a minor foot issue, Assan Ouédrafo, shoulder, and Christoph Baumgartner, rehab, did not take part in team training.

In Rômulo’s absence, 20-year-old French forward Tidiam Gomis could keep his place up front. The former Caen player logged 337 minutes across 18 Bundesliga appearances in 2025/26, returning one goal.

Rômulo scored nine goals and supplied four assists in 30 league games last season, so his potential absence would be significant. There is also a chance that Christopher Nkunku, having returned on loan from Milan, could feature for the Red Bulls.
