Malik Tillman is a major doubt for Bayer Leverkusen’s Champions League return-leg play-off against Olympiacos at the BayArena on Tuesday.

According to BuLi News, the United States international sustained an ankle problem in Saturday’s 1-0 defeat to Union Berlin, which could keep him out.

“We have a small training session and a medical check tomorrow, but it will be difficult with Malik,” said Bayer Leverkusen head coach Kasper Hjulmand on Monday.

“It’s not fully decided yet, but it doesn’t look very good. The decision will be made tomorrow.”

Leverkusen carry a 2-0 first-leg advantage into the tie.
