Wirtz remains surprisingly on the bench: Xabi Alonso explains the drama!

Florian Wirtz, the undisputed regular player of Bayer Leverkusen, was on the bench in the game against Borussia Dortmund for over an hour. Coach Xabi Alonso explained the situation in the evening and cited the reason that Wirtz was in a traffic jam on a bridge in Cologne and therefore came to the team too late.

Xabi Alonso said that "something unexpected" happened in the morning of the game, but there were no health problems at Wirtz.
