This is bitter for RB Leipzig! According to BILD information, newcomer El Chadaille Bitshiabu (18) tore the inner ligament in his knee. It happened yesterday, Tuesday, in training, without any external influence. It’s even possible that the Frenchman will have an operation. He will be out for several months, probably until November.
Just a few weeks ago he came from Paris for around 20 million euros. His injury increases the lack of personnel in the Leipzig defense. With David Raum (25), the club has only one defensive left foot in the squad before the Supercup on Saturday at champions Bayern (8.45 p.m./live on Sat1).

For weeks, Leipzig has been trying to strengthen the defense with sports director Max Eberl (49). So far without success. But now there is even more pressure.
Negotiations with Lyon for left foot Castello Lukeba (20) are in full swing, for RB he remains the 1a solution. The French have turned down several offers. A decision should be made promptly. However: Including bonus payments, it amounts to a transfer fee of up to 40 million euros!
At the same time, RB dropped the negotiations with Rotterdam about Lutsharel Geertruida (23) because the Dutch demanded too much transfer.
