VillaReturns to Aston Villa
Nedeljkovic will return to parent club Aston Villa following the conclusion of his loan spell at RB Leipzig.
Analysis: Nedeljkovic made limited Bundesliga appearances during his extended stay at Leipzig, logging 252 minutes across the campaign after his initial loan from the first half of the 2024/25 season was extended for the full 2025/26 campaign. Nedeljkovic came through the Red Star Belgrade academy before joining Aston Villa, and now returns to the club with his future to be assessed by coach Unai Emery heading into the 2026/27 season.
Returns to bench
Nedeljkovic (back) was an unused substitute in Friday's 3-1 win over Union Berlin, marking his return to the matchday squad after missing four matches.
Analysis: Nedeljkovic has been a depth option for Leipzig rather than a regular starter, so his return to the bench is primarily about restoring squad options rather than shaking up the starting lineup. The Serbian defender will now look to build his way back into contention over the final fixtures of the Bundesliga season as Leipzig push for their Champions League qualification target.
