Leverkusen, Germany – Bayer Leverkusen suffered a disappointing 2-0 home defeat against Werder Bremen today, a result compounded by a concerning injury to star player Florian Wirtz.
Wirtz was forced to leave the BayArena on crutches, casting serious doubt on his availability for the upcoming crucial clash against Bayern Munich.
This double setback – a home loss and a key player injury – has dampened the mood at Bayer Leverkusen.
Manager Xabi Alonso confirmed that Wirtz is currently undergoing scans to assess the extent of the ankle injury.
“We need to wait for how he feels and for the result of the scan, after that we’ll have the full info, but currently it’s too early [to say],” Alonso stated, indicating that Wirtz’s participation in the Bayern Munich match hangs in the balance.
The team and its fans are now anxiously awaiting the scan results.
