Back in time: All-clear for Palacios

The scare in the morning was followed by the all-clear after Bayer Leverkusen’s training session this morning. Exequiel Palacios will not have to take a longer break. Piero Hincapié could also be an option for the start.

One wrong step while attempting a tackle – and Palacios stayed down. The physios, who were alerted immediately, examined the Argentine international’s back and had good news for the athletic department a short time later. The six – especially important for the balance in the team after Charles Aranguiz’s calf injury – did not sustain a lasting injury and will be able to return to training in the near future.

Hincapié: Is it enough for the matchday squad?

Whether Piero Hincapié will be able to help out is questionable. The Ecuadorian, who is suffering from Corona, underwent a PCR test in his home country, which came back negative. Now a lot depends on how the trip home can be organised.

Leverkusen is working feverishly to get the defender back as soon as possible. If he is given a clean bill of health after a thorough examination and still completes the last units on Thursday and Friday, it could be enough for the matchday squad.
