Important low for Xabi Alonso. Florian Wirtz was injured in Bundesliga’s last game against Werder Bremen and will be low in the coming weeks. The midfielder will not be able to play tomorrow against Bayern Munich in the round of the round of 16 Champions League. A setback for the Donostiarra coach that if it was already difficult to turn the result (3-0 in the first leg), Wirtz’s absence makes things more adverse.
Wirtz’s injury occurred in the league match against Werder Bremen, a meeting that ended up losing the Leverkusen. The 21 -year -old had to retire five minutes after entering the field. Wirtz suffered a strong stomp in the ankle and that action was the one that caused the injury.
According to Bayer Leverkusen’s statement on his website, “the midfielder suffers an injury in the ligaments of the right ankle and will be off several weeks.”
A priori, it seemed that the thing was more serious and it was said that the season could be lost. “Breathe” Xabi Alonso who, despite not being able to count on his star in the Decisive Champions match, can have him back for the final stretch of the season. For now, he will not play again, to the month of April.
Wirtz is one of the most important players in the German team. The young man has scored 9 goals and gave 10 assists in Bundesliga. The sports director of the club regretted the loss of the footballer and pointed out that “it is a hard blow for this section of course but we are convinced that it will return in broad way to help us achieve the goals.”
