Adli out of action until 2025 after fracturing his fibula

Xabi Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen will be without Moroccan striker Amine Adli for the next few months after suffering a fractured fibula in his left leg in Wednesday's Champions League clash against Brest.

According to the pharmaceutical company's club, the player underwent surgery on Thursday afternoon on the injury and will complete his rehabilitation at the ‘Werkstatt’, Leverkusen's training complex at the BayArena.

Adli is expected to be out until January 2025 as a result of the fracture, which occurred after a hard tackle by Brest defender Soumaila Coulibaly in the closing stages of the game, which was not punished with a caution by the referee, who simply called the foul.

The action and the lack of a booking provoked an angry reaction from the Spanish coach, who was shown a yellow card before being forced to replace the Moroccan.
