After his injury in training with the French national team, RB Leipzig announced the diagnosis of Christopher Nkunku.
The offensive player has torn the outer ligament in his left knee, the Saxons said. The club left the exact downtime open because there were “various treatment options for this injury”.
Nkunku had to bury his World Cup dream after one with colleague Eduardo Camavinga. “After the medical examinations, I had to leave the team and declare the World Cup a failure. Now it’s time to get to work, with the goal of coming back even stronger,” explained the 25-year-old after leaving the French preparatory camp. Frankfurt’s Kolo Muani took the place of Nkunku in the Équipe Tricolore.
Nkunku had caused a sensation with outstanding performances over the past year. The right footer won the DFB Cup with RB and was named Footballer of the Year in Germany. He is currently the top scorer in the Bundesliga with twelve goals.
