This Monday, the German press was waiting to learn more about the state of health of Florian Wirtz (21), hit against Werder Bremen during the weekend. And the news is not very good. “Bayer 04 will have to do without Florian Wirtz. The German international was injured in the right ankle ligaments during the home match against the Werder Bremen (0-2) on Saturday. This is confirmed by the MRI made after the match. The 21 -year -old midfielder will be absent for several weeks. Wirtz was replaced at the start of the second period but had to leave the field after a fault in the 59th minute. ”
By the voice of the sports director Simon Rolfes, the German club reacted: “The loss of Florian obviously affects us a lot in this phase of the season but we will compensate with a solid workforce. We know Florian and so know that he will come back as soon as possible. Everyone will support him. We start from the principle that it will be in great shape again for the end of the season. ” In the meantime, Xabi Alonso will have to do without him.
