Wirtz injury shocked Bayer Leverkusen: How bad is it really?

In the current international break, Bayer Leverkusen looks anything but rosy. The concerns of their players' health have never been greater, especially after the latest injuries. First, striker Victor Boniface (23 )'s journey with the Nigerian national team to Libya caused a stir. But the main focus is now on Florian Wirtz (21), who was injured on the ankle during the National League game against the Netherlands.

Wirtz had to vacate the place in Munich at half -time. He observed the second section from the bank while his team -mate Robert Andrich (30) took up his position. The question, which is now all concerns, reads: How severe is the violation of the talented offensive player, who has already scored 6 goals this season and is one of the decisive players for Leverkusen?

The condition of Florian Wirtz

The concerns of Bayer Leverkusen are not unfounded. Wirtz, who was in the field for the 25th time for the national team, will be closely monitored in the next few days. National coach Julian Nagelsmann (37) announced that Wirtz felt something on the inner ligament on Monday evening after having caught in an action in the lawn. "He gets a diagnosis on Tuesday. We have to wait and hope that it is nothing bad," said Nagelsmann.

The urgency of the Situation becomes clear when you look at Wirtz's achievements in the current season. He is currently the strongest player in Leverkusen and could be significantly missing due to a longer injury break. After the game, Wirtz was on the lawn again, but it is not yet clear whether he will be ready for the upcoming Bundesliga home game against Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday (3:30 p.m.)

A flash of Florian Wirtz would be a bitter setback for Bayer Leverkusen, since the player not only scores goals, but also plays a central role in building the game. The team is facing a challenging week while waiting for the diagnoses and next steps for their young star.
