Leverkusen boss provides update on Florian Wirtz
"Everyone can look forward" to Florian Wirtz's return from injury, says Leverkusen boss Simon Rolfes.
Bayer Leverkusen managing director for sport Simon Rolfes has provided an update on Florian Wirtz, who recently made his return to team training after a long injury layoff.
"Everyone can look forward to it, but of course it will still take a little while," Rolfes said at the press conference ahead of tonight's game against Atlético Madrid.
"That was a huge step for him, also in terms of feeling that he's approaching the real life of football again."
The 19-year-old wonderkid has been out since he suffered a cruciate ligament rupture back in March.
Wirtz was included in Hansi Flick's provisional squad for the World Cup and therefore still has a chance of getting called up for the tournament in Qatar.
