Assan Ouedraogo - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Progressing toward mid September return Ouedraogo is back on the training pitch working through individual sessions as he recovers from a shoulder capsule injury, according to Bild.

Impact Ouedraogo suffered the injury in early August during preseason camp, and the club and player opted for conservative treatment rather than surgery afterward. He trained alongside rehab coach Marcel Abanoz on Tuesday, though ball work is not yet part of his program, and a return is realistically being targeted for mid September as he continues to build up gradually. Leipzig will therefore be without him for the Bundesliga opener, with Ezechiel Banzuzi expected to start in his place until Ouedraogo's return.

4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Not ready yet Ouedraogo (shoulder) is out for Saturday's DFB Pokal match against Eintracht Trier, according to his club.

Impact Ouedraogo has been out for weeks with a shoulder injury and is still waiting on a return, as just a week before the season, he is still unavailable. It appears now he is even more unlikely to make the season opener on Aug. 29 against Gladbach, as a week turnaround is likely to be too soon. He will be a starter in the midfield once fit, with Arthur Vermeeren, Ezechiel Banzuzi or Rocco Reitz as other options.

AUGUST 21 • ROTOWIRE

Out several weeks Ouedraogo will be sidelined for a few weeks with a capsular shoulder injury suffered during training, with the club opting to treat it conservatively following a thorough examinati...

Impact Ouedraogo had already been forced to end an earlier training session early after the initial blow, and this confirmed diagnosis now rules him out for a notable stretch. The timing is a real blow to Leipzig's midfield plans given the 20 year old was expected to take on a larger role this season following Xavier Schlager's departure, with Christoph Baumgartner's fitness also still in question heading into the new 2026/27 Bundesliga campaign.

AUGUST 8 • ROTOWIRE

Injures shoulder in collision Ouedraogo suffered a shoulder injury after a collision during a duel in Wednesday's training session, with further examinations planned throughout the day, according to the club.

Impact Ouedraogo had been forced to end training early Wednesday after taking the painful blow, initially receiving treatment on the pitch before attempting to continue and ultimately being unable to finish. The timing is notable given the midfielder was expected to take on a larger role this season following Xavier Schlager's departure, with Christoph Baumgartner's fitness also still in question, so any extended absence would be a real blow to Leipzig's midfield plans heading into the new 2026/27 Bundesliga campaign.

AUGUST 6 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves training early with issue Ouedraogo was forced to end RB Leipzig training early Wednesday after taking a painful blow late in the session, according to rb live.

Impact Ouedraogo had to prematurely end RB Leipzig's team training on Wednesday after taking a painful blow during a duel in the final phase of the session, initially receiving treatment on the pitch before attempting to continue and ultimately being unable to finish. The club has not yet clarified the exact nature of the problem, with further examination now planned to determine the issue, and it remains unclear whether he will be back in team training over the coming days. The timing makes this a situation worth watching closely, since the midfielder was expected to take on a larger role this season following Xavier Schlager's departure and with question marks still surrounding Christoph Baumgartner's fitness, meaning any extended absence would be a real blow to Leipzig's midfield plans.

AUGUST 5 • ROTOWIRE

Back in training for preseason Ouedraogo has rejoined training as Leipzig's preseason continues, the club announced.

Impact Ouedraogo had been called up to Germany's World Cup squad as a late replacement for the injured Lennart Karl. The midfielder made 19 Bundesliga appearances for Leipzig last season, contributing four goals and three assists. His return to the group follows his involvement at the World Cup, adding him back into the fold as preseason progresses. Ouedraogo is expected to build toward full fitness as the new campaign approaches.

JUNE 5 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Ouedraogo took advantage of a connection with Yan Diomande to score with an impressive shot from outside the box. Despite being a central midfielder, Ouedraogo had some impressive scoring numbers. He appeared in just 19 Bundesliga contests in 2025/26 (13 starts) but finished with four goals and three assists.

MAY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Back available Saturday Ouedraogo (knee) is back available for Saturday's clash against Bremen, according to coach Ole Werner. "Ouedraogo is also an option against Bremen."

Impact Ouedraogo is an option for Saturday's clash against Bremen after missing over two months due to knee injury. The midfielder was a starter prior to the setback but is likely to see limited minutes initially, with the staff expected to manage a gradual return given the length of his absence.

APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to partial training Ouedraogo (knee) trained partially Wednesday and could be available in the coming weeks, the club posted.

Impact Ouedraogo could be available in the coming weeks after being spotted in partial training Wednesday, having missed the last two months with a knee injury. The German was a starter before the setback and could compete with Brajan Gruda for a starting role in midfield once he regains full fitness.

MARCH 11 • ROTOWIRE

Eyeing international break to train Ouedrago (knee) is progressing well and is eyeing a return to training before the international break, according to his club.

Impact Ouedrago is still working on his return and has yet to see the training field, but that has been followed by some positive news, with the midfielder expected to join his teammates in the next few weeks. He is hoping to integrate before the international break, which starts after their match on March 20. A return to play could then come when they resume play, potentially when facing Werder Bremen on April 4, looking to put his injury issues this season in the rearview mirror.

MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE

Out until end of march Ouedraogo (knee) is out until the end of March due to a tendon injury, according to his club.

Impact Ouedraogo just returned from injury but is now heading for another absence, returning from one knee injury and picking up another, confirmed to be a tendon injury. This is another thorn in the side for the midfielder, who has earned a starting role at only 19 years of age, starting in nine of his 12 appearances. That said, Xaver Schlager, Christoph Baumgartner and Nicolas Seiwald will likely see the start in midfield until Ouedraogo is an option again.

JANUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Back on sidelines Ouedraogo is out for Saturday's match against Bayern Munich due to a knee injury, according to his club.

Impact Ouedraogo just returned from injury but is already heading back to the sidelines, suffering a relapse of his knee injury. It is unknown if it is a major injury again and will lead to further absence. He is set for testing in the coming days, with Yan Dioamnde likely to return to the starting XI due to his absence.

JANUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to action in win Ouedraogo (knee) recorded 60 minutes on the field during Wednesday's 2-0 win over Freiburg.

Impact Ouedraogo was deployed on the left wing in his first start since recovering from an issue that left him out of four games. He had previously featured as a central midfielder, tallying three goals and three assists over his last eight starts in that position. He'll be in contention with Antonio Nusa on the flank and with Xaver Schlager in the center for the remainder of the season.

JANUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Returning from injury Ouedraogo (knee) is an option for Wednesday's match against Freiburg, according to his club.

Impact Ouedraogo has been out since late November with a tendon injury and is now in for a return after the winter break, with the midfielder cleared of his injury. He ends a four-game absence and will likely work back into starting time over the next few weeks, recording eight straight starts before the injury.

JANUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers tendon injury Ouedraogo is out for the next five to seven weeks due to a tendon injury in his knee, according to his club.

Impact Ouedraogo is receiving an unfortunate update after breaking onto the scene recently, as he will miss the rest of 2025 after suffering a tendon injury in his knee. Unfortunately, he will likely miss out until mid-January, leaving the club without a regular starter in the midfield. Xaver Schlager will likely be tossed into a starting role again without Ouedraogo available, starting in the first three games of the season before Ouedraogo's breakout.

NOVEMBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Nets opener Ouedraogo scored one goal to go with five shots (three on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-0 win versus Werder Bremen.

He now has three goals and three assists this season, a great start to the campaign for the midfielder, breaking into the team.

Impact Ouedraogo provided one assist during Saturday's draw, coming off a pair of chances created. Prior to the season he was seen as one for the future, but Ouedraogo has really come into his own as a part of the team now.

He will look to see the team sheet again this season, but after being deemed fit twice and being left out, there is a solid chance he has been dropped from the first team for the remainder of the campaign, as only three matches remain.
