Tragedy for Leverkusen! Schick’s court passer and German supertalent will be out for several months

Bayer Leverkusen have been plagued by injuries in recent weeks. They have had to do without Patrik Schick for several games, but now they have a much bigger problem to deal with. The 18-year-old gem has been seriously injured.

Leverkusen have interesting and talented players at their disposal. However, it is the offensive trio of Florian Wirtz, Moussa Diaby and Patrik Schick that is getting the most attention.

Schick is the team’s top scorer with 20 goals, Diaby has contributed 25 goals and is the most productive player, Wirtz has contributed 24 goals and is the top passer with 14 assists.

However, Schick is now injured and unfortunately for him and Leverkusen, 18-year-old Wirtz, who incidentally has assisted the Czech striker for 7 goals this season, was also injured in Sunday’s match against Cologne.

However, while Schick is still very likely to return to action during March, Bayer’s most valuable player is facing a break of several months. Wirtz has a torn anterior cruciate ligament.

Should Wirtz be healthy, he could easily compete for a nomination for the upcoming World Cup. However, the question is how long he will take to recover.

However, it is important for the players and the whole of German football not to rush anything. Wirtz is undoubtedly a generational talent and his health is absolutely crucial for the future of German football. It is around his person that the national team could revolve in the coming years.

It will certainly complicate his possible summer transfer. Although the player himself was not in a hurry to go anywhere, there was indeed a huge interest in his services.
