Bayer Leverkusen announced that its key attacking midfielder, Florian Wirtz, has hurt his ankle while playing for the Germany national team.
On Tuesday, the club shared that a scan showed Wirtz injured the joint capsule in his right ankle during Germany’s 1-0 victory over the Netherlands in the Nations League on Monday.
Leverkusen stated that the injury did not involve contact with another player. The 21-year-old Wirtz left the match at halftime.
While Leverkusen called the injury “minor,” they also mentioned that it is “not yet clear when Wirtz will rejoin team training.”
This could put him in doubt for Leverkusen’s match on Saturday against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga, as well as for their upcoming game against French club Brest in the Champions League next week.
