Overview
- The 28-year-old fullback took part in selected group drills before continuing with individual work in his first session back.
- Henrichs suffered a non-contact Achilles tendon rupture in a 5–1 defeat at Bayern Munich about a year ago and underwent two surgeries during his rehabilitation.
- Club guidance points to a gradual build-up with match action targeted for next year, ahead of Germany’s squad announcement expected in mid-May for the 2026 World Cup.
- Henrichs has said he is aiming not just for selection but for a starting role at the tournament, a goal teammates such as captain David Raum publicly support.
- Leipzig’s session also reflected broader availability issues, with Ezechiel Banzuzi and Antonio Nusa sidelined for the rest of the year, Yan Diomande and Amadou Haidara away for the Africa Cup of Nations, and media linking Haidara with a possible move to RC Lens while El-Chadaille Bitshiabu and Romulo returned to the pitch.
