Devastating news for our attacker Christoph Baumgartner. The Austrian suffered a muscle injury in his right thigh while warming up ahead of last night’s friendly against Tunisia. An MRI scan today confirmed that he will not be able to play at the World Cup.

  1. "Baumi’s injury has hit us all hard. First and foremost, we feel deeply sorry for him personally, because he had worked towards the World Cup with so much excitement and enormous commitment. Baumi is not only an outstanding player for us, but also an important personality within our team. He is also an absolute fighter, and we are convinced that he will overcome this setback with his positive nature and strong mentality. He can count on the full support of RB Leipzig on his way back."

Baumgartner was the Red Bulls’ leading goal contributor in the Bundesliga last season with 13 goals and nine assists, and missed just one game through suspension after picking up five yellow cards.
