It feels good. For him to come back, and for spectators and lovers of the Bundesliga to see him again on the pitch. This Saturday afternoon, while Bayern Munich fell on the lawn of Borussia Mönchengladbach, RB Leipzig was able to count on the return of their star player Christopher Nkunku to overcome Wolfsburg (0-3).
The French international, who had missed the World Cup in Qatar because of an injury contracted the day after the start of the Blues rally in Clairefontaine, had to face a long unavailability. Almost three months to the day after his injury, he returned to competition by entering the game in the 69th minute of this Wolfsburg-Leipzig, instead of striker André Silva. He resumed collective training in early February.
“I missed it so much, he soberly reacted on his Instagram account. Glad to be back with a big win. “All in all, the Frenchman, trained at PSG and who is to join Chelsea at the end of the season, will have missed six games with RB Leipzig, which resumed competition at the end of January. With 17 goals in 23 games played during the first part of the season, he remains the German club’s top scorer this season.
