RB Leipzig will have to manage without El Chadaille Bitshiabu for the coming weeks.
The Bundesliga club announced on Wednesday that the French defender has sustained a muscle injury in his right thigh.
As a result, Bitshiabu is expected to be sidelined for “several weeks,” Die Roten Bullen added.
The 20-year-old has made four appearances in all competitions so far this season.
Most recently, he started in Leipzig’s 3-1 defeat to Hoffenheim, filling in for the injured Castello Lukeba.
