What a blow for Schlager! Cruciate rupture, farewell to the European Championships for the Leipzig player

Bad news for Leipzig and Ralf Rangnick. Xaver Schlagera 26-year-old Austrian midfielder, suffered a cruciate ligament rupture in his left knee in the match against Hoffenheim played last Friday.

The former Salzburg and Wolfsburg player will have to observe a long stop (at least six months) and will therefore be forced to miss the entire end of the season and above all he will have to give up the European Championships. Schlager is one of Austria’s strong points: he has played 43 games, with 4 goals to his credit, and is one of the elements most used so far by the former Schalke 04 and Manchester United coach.
