Leverkusen’s offensive midfielder Florian Wirtz is on the sidelines for several weeks due to an ankle ligament injury.
Leverkusen’s 21-year-old key player Florian Wirtz injured on Saturday in a 0-2 defeat against Werder Bremen when Mitchel Weiser Taklaus was directly targeted at the star player’s ankle.
The judges did not give a red card for the creepy situation and did not check it for the VAR video system.
Wirtz has to be on the sidelines for several weeks because his ankle ligaments have been damaged. This is a new setback for Leverkusen, who is trying to defend the German championship.
Bayern Munich leads the Bundesliga before Leverkusen with eight points with nine rounds left.
At home, Leverkusen will face the second part of the Bayern Champions League in the second installment of the quarter -finals on Tuesday, March 11th. Bayern leads the match after the opening section 3-0.
– Of course I’m very sorry for the “flon”. Now is a good time to show that we are a team and we can win without him. There is no bigger test than tomorrow’s match (against Bayern) without Wirtz, outlined Leverkusen’s coach Xabi Alonso.
The prestigious Spanish pilot of Leverkusen was criticized for his neck as the team performed domestic Lukas Hradecky instead of Matej kovarwho did not succeed between the posts in Munich.
Wirtz’s ankle injury came at a time when negotiations on the continuation of the top player’s current contract after 2027 have not yet produced results.
