Assan Ouédraogo suffers another shoulder injury in RB Leipzig victory
Summary

RB Leipzig secured a 5-0 victory over Hamburger SV on September 13, but the win was marred by a new injury to midfielder Assan Ouédraogo. The player exited the match in the 35th minute following a collision with Hamburger SV's Albert Grønbæk. Head coach Martin Demichelis confirmed the injury involves the same right shoulder that previously sidelined the midfielder for several weeks with a capsule injury. This match marked only his second appearance since his return from that initial setback, which had been managed conservatively. The club is currently awaiting further medical examinations to determine the severity of the damage. The timing of the incident is particularly concerning for the player, as he had been aiming for a call-up to the Germany national team under Jürgen Klopp ahead of the upcoming international break.
