Red-white drama: Salzburg's top player injured, Leipzig is fighting for the future!

Klagenfurt, Österreich - Red Bull Salzburg, the Austrian soccer champion, has experienced a bitter setback. Top player Oscar Gloukh will inevitably have to pause after having suffered a broken arm in the recent cup game against LASK (1: 2 N.V.). The 20-year-old Israeli is now equipped with a plaster, and an operation in the upcoming Bundesliga game against Klagenfurt is excluded. In addition, the club cannot count on Petar Ratkov, since the Serbian striker has to deal with a knee injury. Aleksa Terzic also fails due to adductor problems, which further complicates the situation for the bulls, as the Krone reports.

departures at RB Leipzig and Salzburg

But the bad news is not limited to Salzburg. RB Leipzig, the German Cup winner and another club in the Red Bull Imperium, also face major challenges. The club has lost significant players in the current season, including the Austrian international Christoph Baumgartner. The departure of stars such as Konrad Laimer and Dominik Szoboszlai exacerbates the situation in Leipzig, which has taken up more than 250 million euros in the transfer period, such as Sn.at writes. Despite these financial income, it is uncertain whether the newly obliged talents like Benjamin Šeško and Nicolas Seiwald are able to adequately compensate for the departures.

Marco Rose, the trainer of RB Leipzig, faces a big challenge, especially after a summer full of changes and after the unsuccessful start of the season last year. The question of whether the team can maintain their competitiveness will be shown in the Supercup against Bayern Munich on Saturday at the latest. Kevin Kampl aptly described the situation by pointing out the need to replace the fleeting top players and not to lose sight of the stability of the team.
