RB Leipzig

Brajan Gruda is set to return to Leipzig's starting eleven for Tuesday's visit of PSV after returning to training, having missed the home game against Eintracht Frankfurt. Rocco Reitz is also back in the squad, but a muscle injury means he remains a doubt for this one, while Christoph Baumgartner, who has resumed partial training after a thigh problem, is expected to return next week rather than in this game.

Ridle Baku has returned from international duty fully fit and looks set to start at right-back again ahead of Benjamin Henrichs. Castello Lukeba is poised to continue alongside Willi Orban in central defence.

PSV

Lutsharel Geertruida is poised to return to PSV's starting line-up at Leipzig after being named among the substitutes against Heerenveen. Ryan Flamingo made his first start of the last five matches at right centre-back in that game, but Geertruida is expected to come back into the side this time.

Paul Wanner remains out with a foot injury and Ricardo Pepi is also unavailable. Ivan Perišić, who was among the substitutes against Heerenveen after returning from international duty, should come back into the side. Sven Mijnans, who has scored three goals in his last five matches, is expected to lead the attack, while Matěj Kovář should continue in goal.
