Abdoul Kone

Kone (shoulder) is back to completing initial parts of team training, the club annonuced.

Kone (shoulder) is following an individual rehabilitation program after his capsule injury to his right shoulder, the club announced.

Kone sustained a capsule injury to his right shoulder in training and will be out for the time being, according to the club.

Kone signed a contract with Leipzig until 2031, joining from Reims but will remain in loan with his former club until the end of the season, his new club announced. "We are delighted to have signed Abdoul despite strong competition, and to have secured the services of such a talented central defender. Abdoul is a tall, physical defender, solid in duels and in the air, and possesses exceptional top speed. He is also a reliable passer, enjoys contributing to the build-up play, and displays great intensity. These qualities also allow him to play on the right wing. Abdoul will finish the season at Reims and continue his development there before joining RB Leipzig this summer," said Sporting Director Marcel Schafer.

Kone was unused off the bench for Friday's 3-0 loss to Monaco.
