RB Leipzig Injury Blow: Ouédraogo Out for Several Weeks

RB Leipzig attacker Assan Ouédraogo will miss several weeks of the new 2026/27 Bundesliga campaign after suffering an injury to his right shoulder.

Injury Update

Assan Ouédraogo has suffered an injury to his right shoulder during a training session on Saturday. He will undergo conservative treatment, meaning he will be sidelined for the time being.

Injury History

Ouédraogo has a relatively lengthy injury history. He missed large parts of the 2024/25 season and has consistently shown his resilience, returning stronger each time. Despite his young age, Ouédraogo has already demonstrated his ability to bounce back from difficult periods.

Pre-Season Training Camp

The injury occurred at the club's pre-season training camp, where Ouédraogo was participating in a training session. This setback will undoubtedly be a disappointment for the young attacker, who made headlines in the build-up to the World Cup when he was called up as a replacement for the injured Lennart Karl.

Recovery and Return

Ouédraogo's exact return to team training date is not yet known. The club will be keeping a close eye on his progress and will provide updates on his recovery in due course.
