David Raum, the German international defender for Bundesliga club RB Leipzig, has been sidelined with a hamstring injury.
The injury was confirmed by Leipzig's official website on Wednesday and the defender is expected to be out for "a few weeks." The team is currently in the middle of their Europa League campaign and Raum's absence could have significant implications for the side's chances of progressing further in the competition.
Rahm's injury comes as a blow for Leipzig, who are already without several key players due to injury or suspension. The defender's presence will be missed, especially given his versatility and importance to the team's defense.
Despite the setback, Leipzig coach Ralf Rangnick praised Raum's character and professionalism in the face of adversity. He said: "We're all very disappointed that David can't play anymore,Saudi Pro League Highlights but we understand it's a matter of course."
In addition to Raum, Leipzig also lost goalkeeper Bernd Leno to injury earlier this week. The loss of both defenders and goalkeepers presents a major challenge for the team going forward.
However, Leipzig's fans remain optimistic about their chances of advancing in the Europa League despite the setbacks. They believe that the team's depth and resilience will allow them to overcome any obstacles they may face along the way.
As the team looks ahead to their next match against FC Copenhagen, they know that they will need to find ways to cope without Raum and Leno. But they are determined to keep fighting for their place in Europe's premier club competition.
For now, Leipzig will turn to their remaining defenders and goalkeepers to fill the void left by Raum and Leno. And while they may not be able to replace him entirely, they will hope that they can still rely on their experienced and resilient squad to get them through the rest of the season.
