LEIPZIG, Germany (Reuters) - Austria's Konrad Laimer and his team mates are enjoying an extended stay in neighbouring Germany after winning their Euro 2024 group and the midfielder is looking forward to a return to Leipzig to face Turkey in their last 16 clash on Tuesday.

The Austrians surprised many by topping Group D ahead of France and the Netherlands to set up a tie against the Turks in the city where Laimer spent six years of his career with RB Leipzig before moving to Bayern Munich.
