Rômulo ruled out of RB Leipzig’s trip to Mönchengladbach

RB Leipzig will be without Romulo once again when they travel to Mönchengladbach for Friday’s Bundesliga clash.

Rômulo has been ruled out of RB Leipzig’s Bundesliga clash with Borussia Mönchengladbach on Friday.

The Brazilian striker missed last week’s 2-0 win over Werder Bremen due to a knee problem, which is still causing him discomfort.

“It’s not a serious injury, but we want to give him the necessary time to recover properly,” RB Leipzig coach Ole Werner said at a press conference on Thursday, confirming Romulo will not be available.

As revealed earlier this week, Leipzig will also be without young talent Assan Ouedraogo, who sustained a knee injury against Werder and will be sidelined for several weeks.

“We decided not to take any risks with Assan. While it’s not a serious injury, it could have developed into something structural. We want to prevent that. He has been a very stable pillar throughout the season, so this absence naturally hurts,” Werner said.

On the bright side for Die Roten Bullen, Yan Diomande will be available to face Gladbach, wearing a protective mask after suffering a nasal bone fracture in last week’s win.
