United States international Terrence Boyd returned to the pitch last weekend, almost two years after sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament tear.
The RB Leipzig attacker featured in the club's reserve match against Lok Leipzig on Sunday.
Boyd, 25, joined Leipzig from Rapid Vienna in the summer of 2014, but knee injuries have limited him to only seven appearances and two goals in two seasons.
This summer, Boyd began preseason early and trained with the club's youth team to build up fitness going into the final year of his deal.
On Sunday, one day after attending RB's 1-0 defeat of his former club Borussia Dortmund as a spectator, Boyd finally made his return for Leipzig's reserves in the fourth-tier derby against Lok.
