Bayer Leverkusen had two negative toads on Saturday afternoon: On the one hand, you lost 0-2 against Werder Bremen, on the other hand, shooting star Florian Wirtz had to be replaced after a hard foul injured and taken to the hospital. In Leverkusen you persistently silence, but the worst case does not seem to stand up.
It is not only very Leverkusen that Florian Wirtz is waiting after his injury in the Bundesliga game against Werder Bremen (0-2), but FC Bayern is currently looking closely looking at whether the international in the second leg of the Champions League on Tuesday evening (9 p.m. in sport.de-Live ticker) can intervene.
Bayer Leverkusen did not want to report an official diagnosis on Sunday afternoon. “Further information” is only to be expected on Monday.
“We expect bad things, but hope for the best,” said Bayer Managing Director Fernando Carro a day after bankruptcy against the Bremeners to the “kicker”. Then at 2:30 p.m. the press conference is scheduled for Munich before the round of 16, the final training (from 12:25 p.m.) is due beforehand.
But why is there currently no water level to Wirtz? According to the “Bild”, it could be because the Werkelf managers tact and want to leave the opponent from Munich in an unsafe manner.
Bayer Leverkusen: Probably no surgery at Wirtz necessary
The good news: According to information from “Kicker” and “Bild”, Wirtz is probably not at risk of early season. It should not be the initially feared syndesmosis injury, nor does an operation seem to be necessary. But whether it is enough to play against FC Bayern, possibly with pain relievers.
