Naby Keita is nearing a return to the RB Leipzig squad ahead of the Bundesliga match at home to Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.
Leipzig have suffered three straight defeats, two in the Bundesliga and one in the Europa League, and dropped to sixth in the table, three points behind second-placed Dortmund.
But they will be boosted by the return of Keita, 23, who was substituted with a muscle strain in the defeat at Frankfurt eight days ago and missed the home losses to Napoli and Cologne.
Reports have it that that Guinea international Keita, who joins Liverpool in the summer, resumed team training on Wednesday and could make his 50th Bundesliga appearance for Leipzig, who won the reverse fixture 3-2 in October.
