Lukeba remains injured: Leipzig's hope is disappearing before the next game

A shock for RB Leipzig! Castello Lukeba, the aspiring star in defense, will also be missing in the decisive game against Celtic Glasgow. The 20-year-old is not ready for use due to muscular problems in the thigh. Sports director Max Schröder makes it clear: "The danger is also when he is in the squad to use him somehow. That makes no sense. We always said that the player must be 100 % fit. This is not Castello."

The failure for Leipzig comes at an unfavorable time after Lukeba made its impressive debut in the French national team three weeks ago. The talented left foot was a decisive factor in the 4-1 win against Scotland. It is all the more painful that he now has to miss the next important games. It remains to be seen how the team will beat without him.

contract extended!

In a positive turn, Lukeba's contract in Leipzig was recently extended prematurely until summer 2029, which underlines its importance for the association. But the fans now have to hope for his return while the team focuses on the upcoming challenges. A hot duel is imminent and the question remains: Can RB Leipzig exist without your defense tower?
