RB Leipzig are keeping hopes high for a full comeback from Benjamin Henrichs in October as the German-Ghanaian defender continues his long recovery journey.

The 28-year-old, sidelined since December due to a torn Achilles tendon, has not yet rejoined team training.

While early suggestions pointed to an August return, club insiders now confirm that Leipzig's medical team expects Henrichs to hit full stride in October.

There's no rush from the club.
