Lorenz Assignon - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Out until end of August Assignon will remain out until at least the end of August after undergoing left shoulder joint surgery following the conclusion of last season, according to Kicker.

Impact Assignon has been working through rehabilitation after undergoing surgery on his left shoulder at the end of last season, and reports have now flagged his absence as a concern that could extend until the end of August. His playing time had already been unpredictable prior to the injury, with both starts and bench appearances common due to rotation at his position and Stuttgart's shifts to a back three. Joshua Vagnoman and Leonidas Stergiou represent the direct alternatives in his absence, while Jamie Leweling can also fill in on the right if a back-three system is used.
