RB Leipzig are looking forward to the provisional return of Caden Clark. The 19-year-old attacking midfielder will be part of the extended squad for the rest of the season. sky and “Picture” had unanimously reported that the American, who had been loaned out twice to the New York Red Bulls, was scheduled to play in Leipzig on Friday and start training next week. Coach Marco Rose confirmed plans before the weekend.
“Caden Clark is coming to Leipzig for now. We’ll take him with us. I think he needs some time. He was injured for a long time but is fit now. He’s a young, talented player that we want to develop further. We are happy that he is coming,” said the coach about the right foot, which RB once cost 1.8 million euros in the summer of 2021. Clark has a contract with the Bundesliga club until June 2025.
A number of clubs have reportedly expressed interest in loaning the youngster, who is set to represent his country at the U20 World Cup in Indonesia this summer. Due to injury, RB Leipzig has to do without Dani Olmo (24) on the offensive, but decided not to add personnel until the deadline day. “We checked out a few options, but nothing was feasible. We decided not to do anything anymore,” Rose said recently.

At least Christopher Nkunku, who is also not available at the moment, is about to make a comeback. The 25-year-old is recovering from a torn lateral ligament, and his move to record-breaking Chelsea FC for the new season is considered fixed. “It looks good. He is super busy every day on the pitch. He does everything that involves individual training,” said Rose (quoted via “foosball”). The tendency is really very good, although an investigation in the next week should provide information about the timing of the Frenchman’s return to training. “We will then decide together: where do we stand? Do you still need individual training or can we slowly start to integrate it into team training?”
RB Leipzig: Coach Rose does not want to think about a series of unbeaten games
Before his possible record game, Rose does not want to discuss the series of unbeaten games by RB Leipzig any further. If Leipzig does not lose at 1. FC Köln, it will equal the record set by RB architect Ralf Rangnick. He managed 18 games without defeat in the 2018/19 season – the records only relate to RB’s first division times. “The longer and more you talk about it, the more of an issue it becomes, which is too big,” Rose said of the run. Leipzig conceded their most recent defeat on September 17 last year in Mönchengladbach.
