LEIPZIG, Germany — Leipzig says midfielder Amadou Haidara has cleared its concussion protocol and is back in training ahead of next week's Champions League games. Haidara was substituted after being struck in the head by opponent Victor Boniface's attempted overhead kick during Leipzig's 3-2 win over Bayer Leverkusen on Aug. 31. Coach Marco Rose indicated at the time that Haidara had seemed confused. He missed two national-team games for Mali during treatment. Leipzig hosts Union Berlin in the Bundesliga on Saturday and begins its Champions League campaign at Atletico Madrid on Sept. 19.
