RB Leipzig star Brajan Gruda to miss Germany call-up due to injury

RB Leipzig attacker Brajan Gruda has been ruled out of the German national team squad for the upcoming international break due to an injury. The 22-year-old suffered an oblique strain during his club's away match against Bayer Leverkusen. This injury prevents Gruda from joining up with manager Jürgen Klopp's first Germany squad, delaying his potential senior international debut.

Gruda will remain with RB Leipzig to focus on his recovery rather than participating in the international camp. This setback follows previous injury issues for the attacker, who previously had to withdraw from training ahead of EURO 2024 and missed a Germany U-21 call-up in October 2025 due to a knee issue.
