Key Footballer of the National Team and Leipzig to Be Back on the Pitch Soon

Hungary Today 2024.01.04.

According to his coach Marco Rose, Willi Orbán, the Hungarian national team player of RB Leipzig in the German top flight, could join his teammates in a few weeks, reports Magyar Nemzet.

Willi Orbán was last seen playing in a friendly match against the Czech Republic on September 10, however, he had to be substituted after an hour due to injury. Doctors at his club, RB Leipzig, initially thought that the Hungarian defender’s knee injury was not serious, but later predicted a ten-week lay-off. Those ten weeks came to an end in November, but Orbán has not played since then, but has at least started training.

Early January was then seen as a possible date for his return, and it was hoped that he would be able to train with his teammates at Leipzig’s training camp in Spain. That did not happen this time, and

Willi Orbán continues to train separately, although he has also traveled with the team to La Manga.

RB Leipzig head coach Marco Rose told Kicker that it was too early for the 31-year-old to join the training sessions, but that it could happen soon.

Fourth-placed Leipzig will host sixth-placed Frankfurt next Saturday.
