Gruda joins Germany in fine form

Brajan Gruda successfully completed his final club match before joining Germany for the Nations League matches. 

Gruda assisted in Leipzig's 3-2 Champions League defeat in midweek, while on Saturday in the Bundesliga he contributed two more assists for the German team. 

Leipzig won convincingly 5-2 against Augsburg in the ninth round. 

The 22-year-old midfielder helped turn the score around from a 1-0 deficit to 2-1. 

He first assisted the 1-1 goal in the 33rd minute, then two minutes later recorded another fine assist to make it 2-1. 

He played until the 65th minute. 

Germany play away to Serbia on 13 November, then host the Netherlands on 16 November. Gruda is expected to get his first opportunity. He missed the previous camp due to injury. 

On Saturday, Arijon Ibrahimović played only in the first half of Augsburg's heavy defeat. Ibrahimović was called up by Germany U21 on Friday for the friendly matches against Belgium and Croatia. 

Leipzig have 18 points after nine matches. Augsburg remain on nine points.
