Germany and RB Leipzig defender Benjamin Henrichs is careful not to look too far ahead in his comeback from a horror Achilles rupture against Bayern Munich in December.

Henrichs, 28, had never had a major injury in his career until he heard a “big bang, a massive noise” in his calf above the clamour of a 75,000-strong crowd at Munich’s Allianz Arena.

Henrichs fell to the turf and was carried off, unlikely to play again for the best part of a year.

Speaking with AFP and other media, the former Bayer Leverkusen and Monaco player said he was focused on the next achievable step, even with the 2026 World Cup in North America on the horizon.
