Bayer Leverkusen team news
Bayer Leverkusen enters this DFB-Pokal semi-final grappling with several key absences, particularly in their attacking ranks.
The most significant blow is the loss of Martin Terrier, who has been ruled out for the remainder of the season following a severe thigh injury.
This leaves a creative void in Kasper Hjulmand’s system. Adding to the offensive woes, teenage striker Christian Kofane is sidelined with a similar thigh issue, while Arthur remains unavailable as he recovers from a torn medial syndesmosis ligament.
There is also a spotlight on defender Jarell Quansah; although he has been managing a minor thigh complaint, he is expected to push through to anchor the backline.
Despite these setbacks, Leverkusen will rely on the consistency of Grimaldo and to maintain their high-intensity style as they look to secure a spot in the final on home soil.
