Question mark behind Wirtz - Seoane: "A tricky case" - KICKE

As before the weekly period in the test match against red-white Oberhausen (3: 1) the tens lacked due to adductor complaints. "He has a vulnerability in this area," explains Seoane after the cup game, "with him the hope is that he will soon be available again, but that's a delightful case: because we do not want a longer-term failure in any case It will be necessary to balance well as we approach with him. "

It was not a precaution in Leipzig was not a precaution after the final training. Because the loss of further important forces can no longer cope with Bayer 04 acute. Seoane becomes a ligast start with security on center-back Edmond Tapsoba (Syndesmoseriss), defender Timothy Fosu Mensah (Crossband Rise), most likely Middle Force Lucas Alario (Muscle FaserRiss) and right outside Bellarabi.

For the internal defense, only two professionals were available to the new coach in Leipzig, since Jonathan Tah was still blocked in the cup. Now a similar bottleneck threatens in the offensive. Just on the wings, where Seoane in Leipzig, Wendell's alternative sales candidate and left-back Wendell sees offensive for Bellarabi, it will be thin after the sale of Demarai Gray (Everton) and Leon Bailey (Aston Villa).

Frimpong for the offensive wing?

Replacement must, even if teher types such as Nadiem Amiri or the freshly-baked Olympic champion paulinho can jump as a wing drummer, which should also be reinforced with Seoane anyway via the half position.

Bayer obliges Bayer next to a planned center-back (as a favorite Piero Hincia, Ca Talleres) is still a right-back, at least Jeremie Frimpong is free for the offensive wing. However, the Dutch could not replace the departure of Baileys, which achieved 15 results in the preseason cross-competitions, not approximately equivalent.

Outputs and injuries, the squad is thinned out. Although Seoane nominated Sadik Fofana (18) in Leipzig U-19 players, only 19 Leverkusen actors were on the match report, including three goalkeepers. The Argentine COPA winner and midfielder Exequiel Palacios, who has only been back in Leverkusen for a week and hardly completed a team training, was even replaced. Originally, Seoane had not planned him for the squad due to the training residue. Bayer 04 has yet to edit some construction sites.
