Leverkusen (AP) – After defender Piero Hincapie has returned, Bayer Leverkusen has to do without the next professional due to a forced Corona break.
As coach Gerardo Seoane announced, Nadiem Amiri tested positive. This means that the midfielder, who has already recovered, vaccinated and boosted, will not be available for the game against 1. FC Union Berlin (3.30 p.m. / Sky) on Saturday. In addition, the use of Exequiel Palacios (back problems) is not guaranteed. Seoane Charles Aranguiz, Julian Baumgartlinger, Edmond Tapsoba and Odilon Kossounou are missing anyway.
The short-term absence of Amiri further complicates the already tight staffing situation. “We all have to come to terms with it, not just in football. Corona also affects staff in society. And there are more important places where this cannot happen, such as in the hospital,” said Bayer’s head coach. “If one of us fails, someone else plays. We have a broad squad,” said Seoane. He does not believe that the corona situation will affect the final table.
