Leipzig’s Xavi Simons to miss ‘several weeks’ with injury

RB Leipzig’s forward Xavi Simons will be out of action for an extended period due to an ankle injury sustained during a recent Champions League match against Liverpool. The 21-year-old, currently on loan from Paris Saint-Germain, had to be assisted off the field after suffering a ligament injury in his left ankle. The exact duration of his absence is yet to be determined as the club evaluates the best course of treatment. Leipzig’s coach Marco Rose confirmed the injury, stating that Simons is in significant pain. Despite this setback, Simons has shown promising form, scoring two goals and providing one assist in seven Bundesliga appearances. Leipzig, currently vying for the top spot in the league, will face Freiburg in their upcoming match.
