Florian Wirtz will miss Bayer Leverkusen for the time being. The 21-year-old key player for coach Xabi Alonso's team will be out for several weeks.

Wirtz suffered an inner ligament injury in his right ankle, the club announced.

Leverkusen will therefore not only be without their best player for Tuesday evening's Champions League round of 16 second leg against Bayern Munich. Wirtz will also be missing for the German national team in the Nations League quarter-final clash with Italy. However, he would have been suspended for the first leg anyway.

Wirtz was injured in the 2-0 defeat to Werder Bremen on Saturday following a foul on his team-mate Mitchell Weiser.
