Bad news for Willi Orban and RB Leizpig. While he played every possible minute this season (4 games) and was captain twice, the Hungarian defender was injured after 60 minutes of play during his country’s match against the Czech Republic. “A further assessment was carried out in Leipzig on Monday and revealed that Orban’s right knee injury would sideline him for several weeks. (…) Get well soon, Willi! Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery!» we can read in the press release from the winner of the German Super Cup.
As the misfortune of some often leads to the happiness of others in football, Castello Lukeba could take advantage of this absence to make his mark within the RBL rearguard. And who knows, maybe his alliance with Mohamed Simakan will catch the eye of Marco Rose who will decide to renew this pair for the rest of the season. Also note that El Chadaille Bitshiabu, recruited this summer from PSG, is among the possible solutions for the German coach.
