The RB Leipzig contingent contains a total of 20 professional players and five young players.

friendly game against FC Santos

A highlight of the trip to Brazil is a friendly against FC Santos, which will kick off on May 28th at 0 a.m. This game could be of particular importance for the interim coach Zsolt Löw, as it is expected to be his last guided encounter for the club. The club tour continues to look at the coming season and the challenges that will come to the team.

rb Leipzig is located in a transition phase, not only with regard to the coaching staff, but also with regard to the team. The absence of several key players due to injuries is particularly unfortunate and reflects the challenges with which many teams are faced in the Bundesliga.

history in professional sports

At the same time, the topic of injuries in professional sports becomes increasingly relevant. According to the VBG sports report, which has been published annually since 2016, preventive measures against injuries should be developed. In the 2019/2020 season, which was influenced by Corona pandemic, the total number of injuries fell by 17 percent. This decline could be partially due to the shortened game operation. The report shows that the average value of injuries per player from 2.29 in the 2019 season dropped to 1.95.

These developments give an insight into the challenges that teams like RB Leipzig are facing. As one of the top clubs in the Bundesliga, the association must ensure that the athletes remain fit to avoid possible setbacks in the coming season.
