In the current situation, Bayer Leverkusen could very well use a player like Florian Wirtz. The return of the playmaker, who has been out since March this year, is not imminent – but the light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter.
His return to team training “won’t be long now,” the 19-year-old announced on Tuesday when asked table football. The green light from the medical department is currently still missing, but this could arrive as early as next week. Then Wirtz could at least train with his teammates during the passing exercises.
In general, Wirtz is satisfied with his progress. “It’s going well,” he confirmed after increasing his workload and even completing moderate duel training.
Noisy table football Wirtz could celebrate his comeback in the last week before the World Cup break. Since then three games against Union Berlin, 1. FC Köln and VfB Stuttgart are pending, the youngster could even gain a little match practice by coming on as a substitute. A nomination for the World Cup is hardly realistic.
