Because a Bundesliga star is extremely unlucky, another one is allowed to go to the World Cup…
After the injury-related exit of RB Leipzig striker Christopher Nkunku (25) for the World Cup in Qatar, another star from the Bundesliga should be nominated for the French national team. As first reported by the newspaper “L’Equipe” and the radio station RMC, Randal Kolo Muani (23) from Eintracht Frankfurt is to join the world champion’s team. Already today he will fly to the French national team from Japan, where Eintracht is playing a friendly against Urawa Red Diamonds.

background: Nkunku was injured on Tuesday. In a duel with his teammate Eduardo Camavinga (20/Real Madrid), the currently best striker in the Bundesliga with twelve goals sprained his left knee. This was announced by the French Football Association after radiological examinations late Tuesday evening. The defending champion does not want to announce the name of Nkunku’s replacement until the world governing body FIFA has officially confirmed the injury.
“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’s RB teammate Timo Werner (26) also missed the World Cup due to an injury .
