Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz Suffers Injury On International Duty
Bayer Leverkusen midfielder, Florian Wirtz, sustained a capsular injury to his right ankle while on international duty with Germany, the Bundesliga club confirmed on Tuesday.
Wirtz sustained the injury during Germany’s 1-0 home win against the Netherlands in their Nations League Group A3 match on Monday, where he was replaced by his Leverkusen teammate Robert Andrich towards the end of the first half.
The win secured the Germans a spot in the quarter-finals.
He underwent an MRI scan on Tuesday and is receiving treatment at Leverkusen, the club said. It is unclear when Wirtz will return to training, leaving him doubtful for Saturday’s Bundesliga match against Eintracht Frankfurt.
Champions Leverkusen currently sits fifth in the league standings, having earned 11 points from six matches, which puts them three points behind leaders Bayern Munich.
Xabi Alonso’s side visit French side Brest in the Champions League four days after hosting Frankfurt.
