Leverkusen ‘remove’ Eichhorn from first-half squad after metabolic diagnosis | OneFootball

Bayer Leverkusen have removed 17-year-old Eichhorn from their squad for the first half as he addresses a metabolic disorder. The midfielder arrived from Hertha BSC this summer.

Sport Bild reports the teenager and club management agreed he would pause involvement, with no timeline for a return.

Uncertainty over the length of his absence has prompted a drastic, and likely unavoidable, step, taking him out of first half squad planning.

He will not be nominated for the Europa League in the first half, forcing a rethink.

Players previously eyed for exits are now expected to compete for the central midfield role he leaves. As it stands, only one of Equi Fernández, Aleix García or Robert Andrich is likely to be sold before the new Bundesliga campaign begins.
