RB Leipzig midfielder Reitz will miss the next several weeks after suffering a muscle injury to his left thigh in training.
The Bundesliga club confirmed the injury following detailed medical examinations. The 24-year-old will now be unavailable to RB Leipzig during the coming weeks, leaving the side without a midfielder who has made an early contribution this season.
Reitz sustained the problem during a training session, with subsequent tests confirming the extent of the injury. The club did not provide a more specific timescale for his return beyond stating that he will be out for several weeks.
He has made two appearances for RB Leipzig in all competitions so far this season, starting one of those matches. Despite his limited involvement, Reitz has already contributed to the scoresheet in both of the club’s opening cup and league fixtures.
His first goal came in RB Leipzig’s opening Bundesliga match against Monchengladbach. He then supplied an assist in the first round of the DFB-Pokal against Trier.
The injury means Reitz will be unable to build on that promising start while he completes his recovery. RB Leipzig will assess his progress during the rehabilitation process before determining when he can return to training and competitive action.
No further details about the treatment plan or an expected comeback date were provided in the club’s official announcement.
The update adds to the early-season disruption for RB Leipzig, who must now manage without Reitz for a period covering several weeks. His absence removes a player who has already been directly involved in goals in both of the matches in which he has featured this campaign.
Reitz’s two appearances have come across different competitions, with one start recorded. His Bundesliga goal against Monchengladbach and his assist against Trier had given him an effective beginning to the season, but the left thigh injury will now interrupt his involvement.
RB Leipzig confirmed the news officially after the medical examinations had been completed, making clear that the injury was sustained in training rather than during a match.
