Bayer Leverkusen have allayed fears that Jeremie Frimpong suffered a serious injury against RB Leipzig. Exequiel Palacios, on the other hand, will be out for the foreseeable future.

10 players to consider for Matchday 2

Bayer Leverkusen have given an update on Jeremie Frimpong and Exequiel Palacios after the two players were forced off during Saturday’s 3-2 win over RB Leipzig.


Frimpong limped off in the first half after taking a heavy blow to his lower right leg.

Fortunately for Leverkusen, the Dutch full-back didn’t suffer any structural damage and will be able to resume training next week.

Palacios, on the other hand, faces a spell on the sidelines after a scan revealed that he suffered a right thigh muscle injury during the game.

Leverkusen did not provide an exact timeframe for his recovery, saying only that he is “out for the time being”.
