Despite a routine 4-0 Europa League win over Lech Poznań, Bayer Leverkusen's night in Poland wasn't without some hardship.

Making just his second start since returning from injury, Martin Terrier was forced off once again inside 18 minutes of action.

Fortunately for the Rhinelanders, Patrik Schick was the replacement, but now an MRI scan on Friday should now bring clarity for Terrier.

Best case scenario, without any damage to the tendons, the versatile French forward is likely to be out for at least two weeks, reports Kicker.

If not only muscle fibers but also parts of the tendon structure are affected, the break would therefore be significantly longer.

It looks certain that Terrier will at least miss Leverkusen's games with SC Freiburg, OFI Crete and TSG Hoffenheim in the coming days.

After suffering a ruptured Achilles tendon in 2024-25 and a lengthy hamstring setback last season, the 29-year-old has been short of luck.
