Leipzig Star Ouédraogo Faces New Setback
15 Sep
Summary
- Young RB Leipzig player Assan Ouédraogo requires surgery for a shoulder injury.
- Ouédraogo has missed over a year of action since July 2024 due to various injuries.
- The injury rules him out of upcoming Nations League matches for Germany.
RB Leipzig player Assan Ouédraogo will be out of action for the foreseeable future after sustaining a shoulder injury that necessitates surgery. The club confirmed the setback on Tuesday. This latest injury adds to a history of physical issues for the young talent.
Ouédraogo had only recently returned from a prior shoulder injury. He has accumulated over a year of missed playing time since July 2024 due to a series of injuries. This new absence will prevent him from participating in four Nations League matches for Germany between September 24 and October 4.
The talented player earned his first cap for Germany last year, even scoring in a World Cup qualifier. He was also part of the World Cup squad as a substitute. His recent return to play, including starting in a league match against SV Hamburg, makes this new injury particularly difficult.
