Ferred for Bayer Leverkusen: midfielder Florian Wirtz injured his foot in the home game against Werder Bremen and threatens to go out against Bayern Munich in the Champions League second leg. The Wirtz, which was only substituted at the second half, contracted the injury to a foul from Bremen’s Mitchell Weiser and had to leave the field again after only eight minutes.
There was initially no exact diagnosis. It is questionable whether Wirtz in the home game against FC Bayern next Tuesday, in which the Werkself wants to catch up with a 0-3 deficit. “I couldn’t speak to Flo yet. He was already gone on the way to the hospital. He is being examined. I can’t say what it is yet. We now have to wait hours an hour, ”said coach Xabi Alonso.
Weiser also commented on the scene that led to the injury: “I think I start the pass from Flo and spy the ball away. I’m sorry, this is a foul and a yellow card. I play the ball and were lucky that it is not red. ” The ex-leverkusen also sent recovery requests to Wirtz: “Flo is my ‘homie’, I know him. Of course I’m sorry and I hope it is not that bad. “
