Young international Assan Ouédraogo has suffered a serious setback in the battle for a World Cup ticket. The 19-year-old will be out for around two months with a knee injury. The midfielder from Bundesliga club RB Leipzig will therefore miss the last two international matches scheduled for the end of March before his nomination.
Ouédraogo suffered the injury during the 2-0 win against SC Freiburg last Wednesday. It is the same tendon problem that forced the teenager to sit out since the end of November until the end of last year. According to Leipzig, an operation is not planned.
