Leverkusen's Schick set for spell on sidelines

SPORTS 28.09.2025

Bayer Leverkusen striker Patrik Schick will be out until mid-October with a thigh injury sustained in Saturday's 2-1 win at St Pauli, his club said Sunday.

Text size:

Leverkusen issued a statement saying they would be "without striker Patrik Schick in the upcoming matches," adding the forward was "aiming for a return for the Bundesliga away game at Mainz on October 18".

The forward will be missing for Wednesday's home match with PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League, along with Saturday's Bundesliga game against Union Berlin.

A Czech international with 24 goals in 48 games, Schick is also likely to miss next month's World Cup qualifiers against Croatia and the Faroe Islands.

The 29-year-old has three goals and an assist in five Bundesliga games this season.

Unbeaten double winners in 2023-24, Leverkusen underwent a major overhaul in the summer and are thin up front, having sent Schick's one-time strike partner Victor Boniface out on loan to Werder Bremen on deadline day.
