RB Leipzig’s Antonio Nusa sustains knee injury | OneFootball

RB Leipzig confirm that Antonio Nusa (19) sustained a knee injury during their 2-0 Bundesliga win against St. Pauli at the weekend and will be sidelined until the end of March.

Scans on Tuesday confirmed Nusa’s injury, meaning the Norwegian attacker could miss Leipzig’s next six games across all competitions, including a DFB Pokal quarter-final against Wolfsburg, and a Bundesliga game against Borussia Dortmund (March 15). Borussia Mönchengladbach will host the Saxony club on March 29.

“We’re hoping that Antonio can recover quickly. This injury is obviously a blow to us – he’s enjoyed a really strong debut season at RB Leipzig. We will do everything we can to compensate for the current absences as a team,” said Marcel Schäfer, Leipzig’s Managing Director.

Nusa arrived from Club Brugge in August 2024 for €21m and has since played 32 games across all competitions under Marco Rose, scoring five and creating seven. It’s a blow to Leipzig, who confirmed last week that Xaver Schlager had also suffered an injury setback.
