Rômulo doubtful for RB Leipzig in Bundesliga opener against Gladbach

Summary

Rômulo, the Brazilian attacker for RB Leipzig, may miss the Bundesliga opening against Borussia Mönchengladbach due to knee tendon irritation. Rômulo was absent from the team's training session after he missed RB Leipzig’s recent DFB Pokal victory over Eintracht Trier. Other players, Ørjan Nyland, Assan Ouédraogo, and Christoph Baumgartner, also did not participate in training. The absence of Rômulo, who scored nine goals last season, could lead to young attacker Tidiam Gomis taking a more prominent role in the match. Leipzig's coach, Martin Demichelis, is preparing for his first Bundesliga game in charge.
