Assan Ouedraogo will require surgery and faces another lengthy spell on the sidelines after suffering a fresh injury setback in RB Leipzig's 5-0 win over Hamburger SV.

RB Leipzig had plenty to celebrate on Sunday as they crushed Hamburger SV 5-0 at the Red Bull Arena to return to winning ways.

However, there was a significant fly in the ointment for Die Roten Bullen, as Assan Ouedraogo was forced off in the first half after injuring his shoulder once again.

The 20-year-old midfielder now faces another lengthy spell on the sidelines, with RB Leipzig confirming he needs surgery.

Ouedraogo had only just returned from a shoulder problem, while other injuries have also seen him spend considerable time on the sidelines since joining RB Leipzig in 2024.

In total, the highly-rated central midfielder has made 27 appearances for Die Roten Bullen, scoring four goals and providing four assists.
