Called up for World Cup
Ouedraogo has been called up to Germany's World Cup squad as a replacement for the injured Lennart Karl (thigh), with coach Julian Nagelsmann describing him as a similarly talented option expected to play boldly and freely in the tournament, according to Ben Jacobs of GiveMeSport.
Analysis: Ouedraogo joins the squad in Chicago ahead of Germany's World Cup opener against Curacao, with coach Nagelsmann expressing confidence that his quality and attitude make him an ideal addition to the group at short notice. The youngster heads into what will be his first major international tournament with the freedom and expectation to express himself, having already made a strong early impression on the national team coaching staff. Ouedraogo featured in 19 Bundesliga games this season with Leipzig, contributing four goals and three assists.
Scores in loss to Freiburg
Ouedraogo scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 4-1 loss versus SC Freiburg.
Analysis: Ouedraogo took advantage of a connection with Yan Diomande to score with an impressive shot from outside the box. Despite being a central midfielder, Ouedraogo had some impressive scoring numbers. He appeared in just 19 Bundesliga contests in 2025/26 (13 starts) but finished with four goals and three assists.
