Leverkusen's "Bayer" suffered a home defeat in the Bundesliga, but today this team should be in pain not only because of the defeat. "Bayer" lost 0-1 at home to the "Cologne" team, and one of the most interesting young talents in Europe, Florian Wirtz, suffered a serious injury. F. Wirtz was supposed to be substituted and taken off the field in the 28th minute with a stretcher. The young German's injury was similar to an ACL injury, which usually takes the player out of action for at least 6 months. F. Wirtz has contributed to 24 goals in 29 games this season. It is also worth noting that "Bayer" is currently without their other leader Patrick Schick, who is nursing a muscle injury. However, the Czech should return to the lineup after the international break. Meanwhile, Kingsley Schindler scored a winning goal for the "Cologne" team in the 67th minute.
