Unfortunately, it's now clear that Lars Bender has made the last appearance of his career due to persistent knee problems.
"The knee hasn't developed as I would have liked. I will definitely not play again. The body is not an instrument that you should use for experiments," said Lars Bender in an interview with Kicker.
"It's not the farewell I had imagined," added the 32-year-old.
Bender last featured for Leverkusen in a Bundesliga game against Wolfsburg in January. In total, he has played 341 games for 'Die Werkself', racking up 26 goals and 36 assists.
