Bayer Leverkusen's attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz will miss Tuesday's Champions League Round of 16 return leg against Bayern Munich, and will be out of action for weeks after picking up a ligament injury.
The 21-year-old limped off injured on Saturday in a 2-0 loss to Werder Bremen and will now miss Leverkusen's second-leg game against Bayern Munich in the Champions League round of 16 on Tuesday, with the defending Bundesliga champions setting to try and turn around a 3-0 first leg deficit against the Bavarians in their all-German Champions League clash.In accordance with a statement issued by the club, they will have to manage without Florian Wirtz.
"The Germany international suffered a ligament injury in his right ankle in the home game against Werder Bremen on Saturday. The 21-year-old midfielder will be out of action for several weeks, " the statement read.

Wirtz, who has scored nine league goals and set up another 10, has netted another six times in the Champions League. He will also miss Germany's Nations League quarter-final legs against Italy on March 20 and March 23.
"The loss of Florian obviously hits us hard in this phase of the season but we will compensate for him with a strong squad," said Simon Rolfes, Bayer 04 sporting managing director.
"We know Florian and also know he will come back as soon as possible. We are assuming he will be fully fit again for the end of the season run-in."
