Even so, it is expected that Leverkusen will adopt a more defensive stance, taking into account its quality in relation to that of the “enemy”. The Leverkusen coach should not be able to count on Patrik Schick, Paulinho, Nadiem Amiri, Exequiel Palacios, Julian Baumgartlinger, Mitchell Weiser, Santiago Arias and Sven Bender for being handed over to the medical department.
