⚠️Bad news in Leverkusen: Equi Fernández out for seven weeks | OneFootball

Bayer 04 Leverkusen has confirmed a tough piece of news for their squad: Argentine midfielder Ezequiel Fernández will be out of action for a period of seven to eight weeks after suffering a ligament injury in his left knee.

The 23-year-old footballer was injured during the Bundesliga match on Sunday, October 26, where Leverkusen won 2-0 against SC Freiburg.

Without Surgery

Fortunately for the player and the club, the ligament injury will not require surgical intervention. Fernández will begin his rehabilitation process immediately at the club's training and rehabilitation center, known as the "Werkstatt".

This absence is a significant blow to Leverkusen's setup at a key moment in the season, as the team competes on multiple fronts. The player, who had established himself in the midfield, will now focus on his recovery to return to action by the end of 2025 or early 2026.
