It is bad news for Germany national team star David Raum.
The RB Leipzig left wing-back is set to miss out on the rest of the 2024 calendar year, according to a report from Sky Sports journalist Philip Hinze.
As captured by @iMiaSanMia:
Update: According to information from Sky, David Raum will most likely not be able to play another game this year. Complete absence for October, November and December is very likely. @SkySportDE
Raum sustained the injury in Leipzig’s nervy 1-0 win over Heidenheim on October 6th, where he was substituted in the 69th minute for Lutsharel Geertruida. However, as shared by RBLeipzig.com, the extent of the injury was as only revealed while at Germany camp.
Despite VfB Stuttgart man Maximilian Mittelstädt earning most of the starts at left-back at EURO 2024, Raum is right in the thick of it and has even looked Julian Nagelsmann’s preferred option at times since the summer’s tournament.
Now, though, there is a chance for Mittelstädt or Fiorentina man and EURO 2020 hero Robin Gosens to assert themselves in a position that is far from settled for Die Mannschaft.
