Leipzig hit by new injury blow: Lukeba out for months

Castello Lukeba was forced off early in RB Leipzig's 1-5 defeat to Wolfsburg at the weekend.

Scans have now revealed that the Frenchman has suffered a rather serious muscle injury in his left thigh.

According to RB Leipzig, Lukeba is expected to be sidelined for around two months and the injury will be treated conservatively.

Lukeba has been a key player at the back for Leipzig this season, making 15 appearances in all competitions.

Leipzig already have a long injury list that includes El Chedaille Bitshiabu, Eljif Elmas, Assan Ouedraogo, Yussuf Poulsen, David Raum and Xavi Simons.
