Former coach Ole Werner cuts André Silva and other players from the RB Leipzig squad before the friendly against ZFC Meuselwitz.
Ole Werner throws André Silva out of the squad at RB Leipzig!
In a surprising move, Ole Werner, the former coach of SV Werder Bremen, removed striker André Silva from the squad before the first friendly match at RB Leipzig. This reports Dike room. A squad shake-up is being sought in Leipzig and players like Silva, who have no future with the Red Bulls, are not being included in the preparation.
The first game of the season preparation kicks off against the regional league team ZFC Meuselwitz. In addition to André Silva, Timo Werner, Eljif Elmas and Kevin Kampl are also affected by this decision. Kampl, who has been at the club for eight years, also has to look for a new club. Despite their cancellation, the affected players are still part of the regular training squad and are heading to training camp.
Send a clear signal
RB Leipzig wants to send a clear signal with this measure. The club has clearly shown that they want to do without players who are not planned for the future. André Silva spent last season on loan at Werder Bremen, but his record was mixed: just one goal in eight games. Under Werner, Silva had less and less influence in the second half of the season and was not used at all in the last five games.
Regardless of Werner's move, the prospects for Silva at RB Leipzig were already bleak. How Werder Bremen reports, the club was already working on possible transfers before Werner's decision. The focus now is on putting together a new team for the upcoming season.
The impact on the squad
Ole Werner's decision could also have an impact on the entire squad. RB Leipzig is relying on a breath of fresh air and new faces, while established players who are no longer part of the future plans are being sorted out. On the website Football Transfers Football developments are reported daily and fans can keep up to date with the latest transfers and team analysis.
So it remains to be seen how the situation will develop for André Silva. It remains uncertain whether he will find a new club or whether he will consider returning to Werder Bremen. The fact is, Ole Werner sent a strong signal with his decision that makes it clear that nothing is safe in football - not even for stars like Silva.
