Continues rehabilitation at WC camp
Baumgartner (muscular) will travel to Austria's World Cup camp in Santa Barbara to continue his rehabilitation following the successful procedure on his muscle injury, with the federation and RB Leipzig accommodating his wish to recover in the national team environment, the club announced.
Analysis: Baumgartner sustained the injury ahead of the June 1 friendly against Tunisia and has already undergone a successful procedure, ruling him out of the World Cup entirely. Despite his unavailability for the tournament, the 26-year-old will spend a week at the Austrian camp working on his recovery under optimal medical conditions provided by both the federation and RB Leipzig. His presence in the camp will allow him to support his teammates during the competition while continuing his rehabilitation in familiar surroundings. A return to action ahead of next season remains the primary target, with the procedure expected to have him fit for the 2026-27 campaign.
Undergoes procedure
Baumgartner (thigh) has undergone a procedure on his muscle injury and will start his rehabilitation, according to his club.
Analysis: Baumgartner has already been ruled out of the World Cup after an injury in a friendly and has received further treatment, as the midfielder underwent surgery. He will now start his rehabilitation and will look to further progress his health as pre-season preparations start. There is a solid chance he returns ahead of the next season, as this procedure was likely to have him fit for the 2026/27 season.
