• Assan Ouedraogo received an injury during the match against Werder Bremen.
• The injury will keep him out for several weeks.

LEIPZIG, Germany — Following a week of successful events, including scoring a goal in his debut match for Germany, 19-year-old Assan Ouedraogo was injured during the match against Werder Bremen. He sustained an injury to his left knee. The club announced that he will be absent from the field "for several weeks."

Ouedraogo, who missed the selection for the World Cup, scored a goal in the match against Leipzig, becoming the author of his third goal of the season. He noted: "This week was ideal, but it could have been better." He left the field at the start of the second half.

The sports director of Leipzig, Marcell Sabitzer, expressed regret about the injury: "This is an unfortunate situation that Assan has suffered. He has made great strides in recent weeks and has become a key player. This injury makes it even more bitter for him and the team."

Another young talent from Leipzig, Yann Dimand, also sustained an injury — he twisted his knee during that same match. The club reported that the 19-year-old Ivorians will be able to train and play with protective gear in the "coming days."
