Tendon broken: RB Leipzig without Starke for months

RB Leipzig will be without key player Sandra Starke for several months. The 31-year-old midfielder suffered a partial tear of a tendon in her front right thigh. The Bundesliga club made the announcement.

Starke suffered the injury in the 2-0 defeat to VfL Wolfsburg, her first competitive match since suffering a thigh injury in the winter training camp. Earlier this month, Starke had extended her contract in Leipzig until 2027.
