Leverkusen's Terrier out for season with Achilles tear

Bayer Leverkusen attacker Martin Terrier is out for the season with an Achilles tendon rupture, the club said in a statement on Sunday.

Text size:

The defending Bundesliga champions were already without injured forwards Victor Boniface and Amine Adli.

Seven minutes in to Saturday's 3-1 home win over Borussia Moenchengladbach, Terrier fell to the turf clutching his lower leg without an opponent making contact.

Leverkusen issued a statement on Saturday saying an MRI had "confirmed a rupture in the right Achilles tendon."

"It's a hard blow for Martin and for us as a club," Leverkusen sporting director Simon Rolfes said, with Terrier to undergo surgery on Monday.

The 27-year-old Terrier joined Leverkusen in the summer from Stade Rennais and has two goals and an assist in the league this season.
