Persistent Injuries! Leipzig's 20-Year-Old International Suffers Second Shoulder Injury Relapse, Missing Over 380 Days Since Joining

20-year-old Leipzig international Wedraoko will undergo surgery following a relapse of his shoulder injury, facing a prolonged absence. He was substituted at the 35th minute during the match against Hamburg due to a shoulder injury. Prior to this, he had been sidelined throughout August during preseason with a right shoulder joint capsule injury, and this now represents a recurrence of that injury. Leipzig head coach Demiczelis described the situation as not very optimistic. Since joining Leipzig in the summer of 2024, this Schalke youth academy graduate has missed over 380 days in total, with recurring knee issues compounding his problems. Even when German national team head coach Klopp called him up for the first time, he was unable to include Wedraoko due to the injury.
