Florian Wirtz’s season has not been ended by injury in yesterday’s 2-0 defeat to Werder Bremen, according to reports from Kicker. With Die Werkself trailing at the break, Wirtz entered the action as a half-time substitute but went down under a heavy tackle from Mitchell Weiser.

Wirtz has the most assists for Leverkusen in the Bundesliga this season (10) and is also their second-highest scorer with nine goals, behind only Patrik Schick (16)

Bayer Leverkusen is fretting about the fitness of three key players ahead of its Champions League match against Bayern Munich on Tuesday.
