Leipzig's Henrichs Sets Big Goal: Regular Starter at the World Cup - Benjamin Henrichs eyes RB Leipzig return after Achilles injury recovery
RB Leipzig defender Benjamin Henrichs is making steady progress after a serious injury. The 27-year-old suffered a ruptured right Achilles tendon in December 2024, keeping him out for nearly a year. Now, as he nears full fitness, he views himself as 'almost like a new signing' for his club.
Henrichs’ injury struck during a match in late 2024, forcing an 11-month absence. Throughout his recovery, he received strong backing from national team colleagues. Joshua Kimmich and Jonathan Tah were among those offering support during his long rehabilitation.
Henrichs’ return adds experience to Leipzig’s defense after a lengthy layoff. His cautious approach to recovery suggests a measured comeback. The defender’s long-term goal remains clear: a starting role for Germany at the next World Cup.
