The absence of the 21-year-old is seen as a significant loss for Leverkusen. Sports Managing Director Simon Rolfes emphasized: "The failure of Florian naturally meets us in this phase of the season, but we will catch him with a strong team." This underlines the urgency of the situation, especially after Wirtz failed months three years ago due to a cruciate ligament tear. Coach Julian Nagelsmann from the national team also expressed his regret: "I'm very sorry for Flo. Both in the club and with the national team are now big games that he will miss," said Nagelsmann. "But the most important thing is his health now."

Leverkusen has to compete against Bayern Munich after the first leg with a 0: 3 deficit, without his best player, which makes the challenge even more difficult, as nw.de reported . However, Rolfes is optimistic and believes that despite the current setbacks for the end of the season, Wirtz will be fit again: "We know Florian and know that he will come back as soon as possible." The situation around Wirtz remains exciting, while everyone involved hopes for his return.
