RB Leipzig midfielder Dani Olmo is set to make his comeback in Saturday's match against Eintracht Frankfurt after being on the sidelines for more than two months due to a shoulder injury.

"Dani is fit and can play some minutes. However, we know that he won't be able to play 60 or 70 minutes after his knee and shoulder injuries. We have to introduce him back slowly," coach Marco Rose said in a news conference on Friday.

"He feels good, he's in a good mood. It's important to have him and his quality back," Rose said.

Willi Orban is still recovering from a knee injury, while Amadou Haidara is playing the Africa Cup of Nations. All other players are available.

"I'm expecting to see exactly what we've been working on over the past few weeks. We want to put in a good, energetic performance and deal with setbacks if and when they come," Rose said.
