Marc Guiu will be unavailable for the next few weeks after suffering a hamstring injury in training. The setback arrives just as RB Leipzig were folding him into the side after his permanent move from Chelsea this summer.
Leipzig's early use of Guiu
The 20-year-old made his Bundesliga debut for RB Leipzig on Matchday 2, coming on as a late substitute in their loss to Werder Bremen. He also started Leipzig's defeat to Como in the UEFA Champions League, so this was already looking like a quick introduction rather than a slow bedding-in period.
Guiu has made just one league appearance for Leipzig and played only 15 minutes this season. That is a small body of work, but it is still enough to show how quickly he had been pulled into the rotation before the hamstring problem stopped him.
What Leipzig lose for now
The injury does not have an exact return date attached to it, only a spell of "the next few weeks". That leaves Leipzig without a forward they had barely finished introducing, and it comes after a 3-1 loss away at Werder Bremen in their most recent Bundesliga outing.
Marc Guiu's start at Leipzig was short, but it was already more active than a holding pattern. The next step is simply getting him back fit before the club can keep building on that early usage.
