Shock for RB Leipzig: Gomis will be out for months due to injury!
RB Leipzig will have to do without their talented new signing Tidiam Gomis in the coming weeks. The 18-year-old striker has suffered an injury to the medial ligament of his left ankle, which is expected to keep him out of action for five to six weeks. This means Gomis will miss the Bundesliga opener against FC Bayern Munich on August 22nd. In the previous nine competitive games for the club, in which Gomis also played a DFB Cup semi-final, he was able to record one assist, but he has not been able to do more than that so far. MDR.de reports that Gomis only moved from SM Caen to Leipzig in February.
Gomis' loss hits the team at a crucial stage. RB Leipzig not only lost an important player in Gomis this week, but is also active in the transfer market. The club has brought in several new signings in the recent past, including winger Johan Bakayoko from PSV Eindhoven, to revamp the team. LVZ.de added that Serbian midfielder Andrija Maksimovic from Red Star Belgrade and Yan Diomande from CD Leganés are also new to the squad.
Squad changes in Leipzig
Coach Ole Werner is planning a massive shakeup at RB Leipzig after the team failed to qualify for international play last season. In addition to the new arrivals, there are also some departures. Timo Werner will not be in the squad for the first friendly and is apparently planning to leave the club. Rumors say that a move to a Red Bull branch in New York is on the cards. Other change candidates such as André Silva, Eljif Elmas and Kevin Kampl were also not considered for the test match.
In a further step, RB Leipzig has hired Jan Zimmermann as its new assistant coach and is working on signing Marlon Gomes, a central midfielder from Shakhtar Donetsk who made a name for himself there last season.
Preparation and new measures
Preparation for the new season has already begun, with performance tests and a planned test match against FC Toulouse during the training camp in Donaueschingen. The focus is also on the infrastructure: RB Leipzig is laying a new hybrid turf in the Red Bull Arena, the work of which should be completed by Thursday.
In further news from the club, it was announced that Yussuf Poulsen is leaving the club after over 12 years and moving to Hamburger SV. Kosta Nedeljkovic will stay at RB Leipzig on loan for another season.
However, RB Leipzig's Women's Bundesliga team achieved success by winning their first friendly match 7-0 against Śląsk Wroclaw, indicating the positive developments in women's football.
