Injury concerns: Gomis is out for the Bundesliga opener!
On July 19, 2025, RB Leipzig has some exciting developments to report that affect both the men's and women's teams. After an eventful summer in which the club saw many new additions and changes to the squad, there is now an unfortunate turn of events for striker Tidiam Gomis.
Tidiam Gomis, who recently moved from SM Caen to Leipzig, is expected to be out for five to six weeks due to an inner ligament injury to his left ankle. This means that the 18-year-old winger will not be able to play in the Bundesliga opener against Bayern Munich on August 22nd. Gomis, whose market value is an impressive 3 million euros, scored four goals in 20 games in the Ligue 2 season and was a top performer for the France U19 national team. His move to RB Leipzig, for which a transfer fee of 1 million euros was paid, was considered very promising, but now this is bad news. Sports director Marcel Schäfer was relieved about Gomis' decision to come to Leipzig despite international competition and expressed the hope that the player would be fit again soon. [lvz.de] reports that his injury could affect the team's plans as they regroup for the new season.
New coach and squad changes
Amid these challenges, Ole Werner made his debut as RB Leipzig's new coach on July 18th in a friendly against ZFC Meuselwitz. The team started pre-season preparation just a few days ago and Werner is keen to set the squad up for a more successful season. The club plans to reduce the size of the squad and has already made some transfers. Among others, Johan Bakayoko was signed by PSV Eindhoven and Andrija Maksimovic by Red Star Belgrade. The coaching team is also strengthened by Jan Zimmermann as assistant coach. It is particularly important for Werner to put the team together as quickly as possible in order to create the best conditions for the start of the league.
Another point that makes Leipzig fans happy is the strong performance of the women's team, which recently won a friendly against VfL Wolfsburg 3-2. The women also have great ambitions this season and have made their first statement against strong competition.
Further developments and outlook
The roster changes aren't the only news! Yannick Eduardo will be loaned to FC Dordrecht for the 2025/26 season, while the Red Bull Arena is currently being fitted with new roll-hybrid turf, which should significantly improve conditions for matches. The plan is for the work to be completed by August 8th.
RB Leipzig also offers a flexible mix & match package for home games to give its fans an individual viewing experience. Another test match against FC Toulouse is scheduled for July 26th, where the coaches and players can try out new tactical approaches. Despite Gomis' injury, the club remains optimistic and is doing everything it can to have a strong season.
The years in which the squad continually grows and changes are often exciting and challenging at the same time. With a new coach and fresh players, RB Leipzig will try to build on the successes of recent years. It will be interesting to see how the team performs on the pitch!
