Florian Wirtz, a key player for Bayer Leverkusen and the German national team, will be sidelined due to a ligament injury in his right ankle. The injury occurred during a match against Werder Bremen, and after an MRI scan, it was confirmed he will be unavailable for several weeks. This absence includes important matches such as the Champions League clash with Bayern Munich and UEFA Nations League quarterfinals against Italy. Bayer Leverkusen’s sporting director, Simon Rolfes, expressed confidence in the team's depth to compensate for Wirtz's loss during the pivotal season phase.
"The loss of Florian obviously hits us hard in this phase of the season but we will compensate for him with a strong squad," said Simon Rolfes, Bayer 04 sporting managing director.
