Emile Smith Rowe is in line to make his RB Leipzig debut this weekend, two months after signing for the club on a six-month loan deal from Arsenal.
The English starlet has struggled with a persistent groin injury since the turn of the year, which has prevented him from featuring for the German club.
Smith Rowe's last senior appearance came in November for the Gunners in the Europa League, where he scored the opener in a comfortable 3-0 away win against Vorskla.
The 19-year-old is now finally returning to full fitness and after participating in training with the Leipzig squad this week, Rangnick is ready to grant him his first opportunity for the club.
