RB Leipzig have been dealt an injury blow, with Bild reporting that Antonio Nusa will be sidelined for the foreseeable future.

The German tabloid reports that the 20-year-old winger suffered an ankle injury during Saturday's 6-0 thrashing of Eintracht Frankfurt.

As a result, Nusa will definitely miss Friday's clash with Union Berlin and is also unlikely to feature in Leipzig’s final game of the year against Bayer Leverkusen on December 20.

Die Roten Bullen have already been managing without key players Assan Ouedraogo and Romulo in recent weeks.

Nusa has scored two goals and providing two assists in 15 appearances for Leipzig this season.
