Leverkusen (dpa) - Bayer Leverkusen will also have to do without the exceptional talent Florian Wirtz in the relocated second round game of the DFB Cup against Eintracht Frankfurt on Tuesday (8.45 p.m. / Sky).
The 17-year-old was not part of the squad in the league against Werder Bremen (1: 1) on Saturday because, according to coach Peter Bosz, he showed "an overload".
"Florian will continue to be spared," said Bosz on Monday.
Meanwhile, Bosz is aiming for a repeat after reaching the final last year. "The DFB-Pokal is very important to us because the path is very short," said the Dutchman: "We saw last year what it does to the team when you play a final." And then the 57-year-old added with a laugh: “But when you play a final, you want to win it. So let's say: this time we want to win it too. " Last year the Werkself lost 4-2 to Bayern Munich.
