According to Sky Sport Germany, RB Leipzig midfielder Ouedraogo may miss out on Germany's first squad under new coach Julian Klopp due to a shoulder injury.

The 20-year-old German international was substituted after 35 minutes in Leipzig's 5-0 victory over Hamburg due to a shoulder injury. The injury occurred during a challenge with Albert Grönbaek, and Ouedraogo could face several weeks on the sidelines. Klopp will announce his squad for the upcoming international matches on Thursday.

Leipzig head coach Marco Rose said: "I think it's actually the same injury." Ouedraogo had previously missed the entire month of August during pre-season with a right shoulder capsule injury, and the problem now appears to have recurred. Rose said: "It doesn't look good. We need him. He's a talented player who both the German national team and the club desperately need."

Rose emphasized that the medical team had cleared Ouedraogo to play. He said: "He was ready to play. We waited until he was fit." The coach also revealed that Ouedraogo played for half an hour in Como on Thursday and started against Hamburg after participating in full team training sessions beforehand.

Since arriving at Leipzig in summer 2024, the Schalke academy product has been plagued by injuries. From July 2024 onwards, he has accumulated over 380 days sidelined through injury, with knee problems being the most frequent. Now Leipzig may also consider surgery to address his shoulder injury.
