RB Leipzig’s Assan Ouédraogo faces weeks out after training injury | OneFootball

RB Leipzig have confirmed Assan Ouédraogo has sustained a capsular shoulder injury in training and will be sidelined for a few weeks.

The 20-year-old featured in 19 Bundesliga matches last season, his progress hampered by multiple injury setbacks.

He was drafted into the World Cup squad by Julian Nagelsmann as Lennart Karl’s replacement after the FC Bayern youngster was injured in one of the final training sessions before the tournament, but he did not play in North America.

Ouédraogo had recently appeared in friendly wins over Ingolstadt and Verl before this latest setback was confirmed.

Leipzig face Premier League side Leeds United later today, then meet FC Bayern at Allianz Arena in another friendly before opening their season in the DFB-Pokal.
