LeipzigMakes comeback in U19 friendly
Gebel made his return to the pitch for the first time since October 2025 when he came on as a substitute in the 67th minute of the U19's 2-2 draw with Porto in the RBL Cup, according to the club.
Analysis: Gebel had undergone surgery for a torn ACL that ended his previous season prematurely, and this comeback marks a significant milestone in his recovery, coming under the watch of coach Martin Demichelis and several first team players. His involvement in this developmental fixture is an encouraging step, and his continued progress will be worth tracking as he works his way back toward full team contention. Gebel should remain with the Youth Team this season to build fitness and get little opportunities with the senior squad.
Participates in training camp
Gebel (knee) has been included in RB Leipzig's traveling squad for the preseason camp, according to the club.
Analysis: Gebel underwent surgery on a torn ACL back in October that ended his previous season prematurely, so his inclusion in the traveling group now marks a significant milestone in his recovery ahead of the new 2026/27 Bundesliga campaign. He is still working his way back after that lengthy layoff, and his continued integration will be worth tracking as Leipzig continues preseason preparations.
