🚨 Injured in a friendly, German wonderkid misses Bundesliga opener

🚨 Injured in a friendly, German wonderkid misses Bundesliga opener Leverkusen’s friendly win over Sevilla (2-1) did not leave the Bundesliga club with only positive feelings. As the club announced this Sunday, Montrell Culbreath will miss the start of the season at the end of August due to injury. An exact diagnosis is still pending. He had taken a kick to his left foot from Sevilla’s Oso, and the Germany U19 international had to be substituted in the 35th minute. As 'Bild' reported, the DFB talent left the stadium on crutches yesterday, and it is now certain that he will miss the opener against promoted side Elversberg. How long the 18-year-old will be sidelined remains unclear. But Culbreath was not the only player injured in the friendly; Robert Andrich was also hurt. He will train individually over the coming days and will not take part in the friendlies in England against Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest. "He felt something in the back area. I told him: If you feel something, stop as quickly as possible," head coach Carles Martínez told 'Bild' after the match. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
