Leipzig midfielder Assan Ouédraogo sustains shoulder injury against Hamburger SV

RB Leipzig midfielder Assan Ouédraogo suffered a shoulder injury during a match against Hamburger SV on September 13, 2026. The 20-year-old was making his first start since returning from a previous shoulder injury sustained in August. Ouédraogo required a substitution just 30 minutes into the match, with Christopher Nkunku replacing him on the pitch. The injury marks the latest in a series of setbacks for the player, who has dealt with several knee and thigh issues since joining the club in 2024. The timing of the injury is particularly significant as Jürgen Klopp is scheduled to announce his first Germany national team squad next Thursday. Ouédraogo now faces uncertainty regarding his availability for selection, with the team hoping the latest shoulder trauma does not require a long-term recovery period.
