LeipzigTrains with team, available for opener
Klostermann (groin) was spotted training fully this week and is an option for Saturday's season opener against Gladbach, the club posted.
Analysis: Klostermann had been working individually to manage a recurring groin issue that had already resurfaced once after an earlier return to team training in preseason, prompting a more cautious approach from Leipzig. This full week of training now suggests the issue has finally settled, positioning him as a potential option for the club's Bundesliga opener.
Continues individual work
Klostermann (groin) continues to work individually as he recovers from his lingering issue, the club announced.
Analysis: Klostermann has dealt with recurring groin trouble dating back to the start of month, and what looked like progress when he rejoined team training was short-lived once the same issue resurfaced and pulled him back out. He is currently working alone, a clear indication that Leipzig are being more careful this time after the earlier setback. With the problem having flared up twice now, the club will likely want to see him progress through individual work and handle a return to group training without recurrence before trusting him back with the full squad.
Sidelined again with groin issue
Klostermann is set to observe another rest period due to groin problems, the club announced.
Analysis: Klostermann had already been forced to miss training earlier in the week for the same issue before returning to full team training Tuesday. This latest setback marks a recurrence of the problem, and it remains unclear whether or when he will be able to rejoin the group. Klostermann is expected to be reassessed as his recovery continues.
Back in full team training
Klostermann (groin) is back in full team training Tuesday, confirming his complaints were only a precaution, according to the club.
Analysis: Klostermann's quick turnaround is a relief after a season last year heavily disrupted by fitness issues, including a calf injury that cost him significant time and a bout of illness in January that limited him to just five Bundesliga appearances. His swift return to full training now positions him to build a healthier preseason as Leipzig continues its preparations for the new 2026/27 Bundesliga campaign.
Dealing with groin discomfort
Klostermann is sitting out training Monday due to groin complaints, according to the club.
Analysis: Klostermann's season last year was heavily disrupted, limited to just five Bundesliga appearances after missing significant time with a calf injury from August through September and later an illness in January. This latest groin issue adds to a pattern of fitness setbacks, and his path back to full training will be worth monitoring closely as Leipzig continues its preseason preparations.
Assists before subbing off
Klostermann assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created during Saturday's 3-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt.
Analysis: Klostermann provided one assist during Saturday's win before coming off with what appeared to be cramp. The defender isn't a consistent offensive threat, but he can occasionally get forward if given the space. Saturday was a well-taken assist, as he set up only a single chance and earned the assist from it. Klostermann's assist was his first goal contribution of the campaign during his first start.
