体坛英语新闻：Leipzig's Laimer sidelined with injury

BERLIN, April 6 (Xinhua) -- Leipzig's Konrad Laimer will be sidelined for several weeks due to an injury, the Bundesliga club announced in an official statement on Friday.

The 20-year-old defensive midfielder will be out of action for "four to six weeks" after suffering a torn hamstring in yesterday's 1-0 victory over Marseille in the first leg of UEFA Europa League's quarterfinal.

Laimer sustained the injury without a foul play and had to be replaced by Bernardo in the 74th minute.

The Austrian youngster joined the "Bulls" from Salzburg in the summer of 2017 to provide two assists in 20 appearances.

Fourth-placed Leipzig will clash against fifth-placed Bayer Leverkusen to conclude the 29th round in Bundesliga on Monday.
