Leverkusen Battles Injuries Before Crucial PSG Clash
Bayer Leverkusen faces significant injury challenges ahead of their crucial Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain. The game is set to take place at the BayArena on Tuesday, and Leverkusen’s head coach, Kasper Hjulmand, has confirmed several key players will be sidelined.
Injury List Ahead of PSG Clash
Leverkusen will be without the following players:
- Axel Tape
- Exequiel Palacios
- Malik Tillman
- Nathan Tella
- Lucas Vázquez
These players are ruled out due to injuries, limiting the team’s options as they prepare for a challenging opponent.
Potential Returns and Other Concerns
Strikers Patrik Schick and Jarell Quansah missed the recent win over Mainz but participated in the final training session prior to the PSG clash. Hjulmand stated, “We’ll see tomorrow. It looks better day by day, but nothing is certain yet.” Their late availability remains uncertain.
Additionally, Jonas Hofmann and Martin Terrier, who were instrumental in the previous match against Mainz, are not registered to play in the Champions League, further complicating the squad’s depth.
Looking Ahead
As the match approaches, the situation highlights the challenges Leverkusen faces while trying to compete at a high level. The team’s ability to manage these injuries will be crucial in their performance against one of Europe’s top clubs.
