The next important step on the road to his comeback has been completed: On his return to training with the team, Florian Wirtz was clearly happy to be involved in several drills on Monday morning – for the first time under the guidance of Bayer 04 head coach Xabi Alonso.
Also part of the group training was Karim Bellarabi, who completed the whole of the Monday session. The 32-year-old winger suffered a knee injury in the middle of August. Exequiel Palacios, who has been sidelined since the middle of September with a muscle injury, also trained with the team at the start of the week.

Show moreWhere were you on 14 April 2024? – That question will probably be asked a lot in Leverkusen today. And can there be anybody in this city who doesn't have an answer to hand? Hard to imagine. That Sunday exactly a year ago was too special. Too big. Too stirring. Too incredible. Everybody will have their own personal memory of that historic day. As everybody was there somehow. Even those who were unfortunately unable to get a ticket for the game of games against Werder Bremen.
