Bernardo is expected to miss VfL Bochum's trip to Leverkusen on Friday.

Bochum coach Dieter Hecking has told WAZ that the defender is unlikely to play due to a knee problem.

"Unfortunately, Bernardo has knee problems, which makes us a bit worried," Hecking revealed.

“He had Achilles tendon problems and now he has knee problems. It's going to be tight for Friday. There's a good chance he won't play.”

Berbardo missed Bochum's last Bundesliga game, a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Eintracht Frankfurt, through suspension.

In total, he has made 15 appearances this season.
