World Cup 2022 News: Injured in training – Nkunku misses World Cup

November 16th
This is bitter for the most successful goalscorer in the Bundesliga: Christopher Nkunku from RB Leipzig will miss the World Cup in Qatar after an injury. He sprained his left knee in a duel with his teammate Eduardo Camavinga (Real Madrid). The French association announced this late Tuesday evening. “Get well soon, Christo! This news hurts,” RB Leipzig tweeted immediately after the news from France’s World Cup quarters: “We are with you and know that you will come back stronger!” Nkunku has made eight appearances for the national team, with two assists. The fast and technically highly talented attacker was planned as a backup player under coach Didier Deschamps. The competition, especially up front, is fierce for the Equipe Tricolore. He is replaced by Kolo Muani from Eintracht Frankfurt.
