He survived his knee irritation! After a six-week break, Kosta Nedeljkovic (19) returned to training at RB Leipzig. Has Aston Villa’s professional loan finally begun?
Especially when you have to train alone after an injury and can’t play for four or five games. But I gave everything, that’s my mentality, said Nedeljkovic when asked by BILD.
He added: “I’m not the type of person to sit on the bench. I talk to the coach every day. I know he trusts me. I hope I get the opportunity in the next few months.”
Serbs really need it! Because without deployment time, chances are the boss will do it RB Leipzig around sporting director Marcel Schäfer (41) to exercise a 10 million euro purchase option in the summer.
Nedeljkovic’s first goal: back to the squad for the next home game against Bremen on November 23 (15:30). “I want to use the international break to offer myself to the squad again,” explained the right-back, who appears much more mature despite his young age.

Real: He also learned from the injury he had just recovered from. “I got hit at the start of the season. Even though there was a problem, I continued to train and tried to ignore the pain,” explained the national player. “Sometimes you have to be smart, listen to your body and not overload yourself – even if you always want to give 100 percent.”
Will a return to the starting Eleven also be a success? Nedeljkovic believes that. However, he also knows that competition for his position with Ridle Baku (27) is currently very tight. “He is an extraordinary player German national player. He helps and talks to me every day. I can learn a lot from him.”
To start again…
