RB Leipzig Welcomes Xavi Simons Back to Training After Injury

The Dutch midfielder rejoins the squad as Leipzig prepares for the Bundesliga's second half, with several key players still sidelined.

Xavi Simons, injured since October, has returned to full training with RB Leipzig after recovering from a left ankle injury sustained in a Champions League match against Liverpool.
David Raum, another key player, has also resumed training, boosting Leipzig's squad ahead of the Bundesliga restart.
Several players remain unavailable, including long-term absentees Benjamin Henrich, Assan Ouedraogo, Castello Lukeba, and Yussuf Poulsen, as well as sick players Lutsharel Geertruida and Nicolas Seiwald.
Loïs Openda was absent from training due to personal family matters, as confirmed by head coach Marco Rose.
Leipzig, currently fourth in the Bundesliga standings, will face Werder Bremen on January 12 as they aim to build momentum for a strong second half of the season.
