Ouedraogo suffers another setback and will miss months at Leipzig

Another blow for Leipzig

RB Leipzig has confirmed that Assan Ouedraogo has suffered a new injury setback and will again miss a long stretch. As kicker reports, the 20-year-old midfielder is facing another period on the sidelines, in a timeline described as months.

The club’s latest update links the problem to the shoulder blade area. As was already explained in the previous coverage, Ouedraogo re-aggravated that zone, and Leipzig’s medical staff now expect him to be out for longer after this fresh setback. The new information came in the club’s message, citing the update released on Tuesday, following a phase of recovery/evolution.

Long absence to reshape options

With Ouedraogo again unavailable, Leipzig will have to adjust their midfield choices and rely on other solutions while he continues his recovery. The immediate effect is clear: fewer minutes and less rotation in the middle of the pitch.

For now, the next key step is simply how his recovery progresses. As soon as there is a new update on his return, Leipzig—and kicker as the source—will be the ones to clarify timelines.
