"Bayer" Leverkusen received very unpleasant news. One of the team's leaders and one of the most prominent young players in Europe, Florian Wirtz, dropped out of the lineup for a long time. In the recent match against the "Cologne" team, F. Wirtz suffered a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament. Usually, such an injury takes the player out of the lineup for 7-9 months. This news is painful not only for the "Bayer" team but also for the German national team. The young defender could have been a serious boost for the team at the World Cup in Qatar, but now his participation there is hanging by a thread. F. Wirtz has directly contributed to 24 goals in 29 matches this season. The 18-year-old defender has attracted interest from teams like "Barca," "Liverpool," Real Madrid, and Bayern."
😭ℹ Florian Wirtz has torn his ACL in #B04KOE. Wishing you a strong recovery, Flo! 🙏
