Christopher Nkunku a doubt for RB Leipzig's Champions League last-16 second leg clash with Manchester City after suffering a thigh injury against Borussia Dortmund

RB Leipzig star Christopher Nkunku is a doubt for the club's Champions League last-16 second leg clash with Manchester City.

France international Nkunku, 25, recently made his return after three months out but limped out of Friday's defeat to Borussia Dortmund owing to a thigh issue.

Having just returned from three months out, Leipzig boss Marco Rose will be sweating over the fitness of Nkunku ahead of the tie at the Etihad next week.

With Nkunku having torn his knee ligaments, Leipzig have had to restructure their forward line for the last month or so.
