Nathan Tella's presence on the team sheet for the match between Bayer Leverkusen and FC St. Pauli remains uncertain. But one thing is clear: even if he is included, he will almost certainly start on the bench.

According to information from the German newspaper Kicker, the Nigerian winger is still not fully fit to claim a spot in Bayer Leverkusen's starting eleven for Saturday, September 27, as part of the fifth round of the Bundesliga.

Outstanding during the win over Eintracht Frankfurt on September 12 in matchday three, the Stevenage-born winger unfortunately picked up an injury.

Having missed the league clash against Borussia M'gladbach (1-1) and the Champions League fixture against FC Copenhagen (2-2), he has now recovered from his knee contusion and his return to action seems closer than ever.
