Bayer Leverkusen winger Amine Adli is set to miss the remainder of 2023 after suffering a leg fracture during Wednesday’s 1-1 Champions League draw against Brest. The 24-year-old Moroccan, who was substituted just 18 minutes after coming on, will undergo surgery for a fractured left fibula and is expected to be sidelined until January 2025.
Leverkusen confirmed the severity of the injury in a statement, with coach Xabi Alonso expressing his disappointment, calling it “the worst news of the day.” Adli’s absence is a blow for Leverkusen, who face a demanding schedule of five matches in the next 16 days. The winger has featured in all 11 of Leverkusen’s games across all competitions this season, playing a vital role in their campaign.
