According to Sky Germany, RB Leipzig talent Assan Ouedraogo will undergo shoulder surgery and face another extended period on the sidelines.

Germany national team coach Klopp will not have Assan Ouedraogo available for his first call-up.

The 20-year-old RB Leipzig international was substituted in the 35th minute during a 5-0 victory over Hamburg due to a shoulder injury. According to Sky Germany, he will now undergo shoulder surgery, meaning he faces another prolonged absence from action.

"I think it's the same injury," said RB Leipzig coach Marco Rose at the time. Assan Ouedraogo missed all of August during preseason due to a right shoulder capsule injury. Now, that injury appears to have recurred. "It doesn't look good," said Rose. "We need him. He's an extremely talented player for Germany and for our club."

Rose emphasized that the medical department had cleared him to play. "He was ready to play. We were waiting until he recovered fully," the coach said. Assan Ouedraogo played for half an hour against Como on Thursday and started against Hamburg. Before that, he had completed full training sessions with the team.

Since joining RB Leipzig in summer 2024, the former Schalke academy talent has been repeatedly hampered by injuries. Since July 2024, he has accumulated over 380 days out, with knee problems being particularly frequent. For this shoulder injury, RB Leipzig may also consider surgery.
