Bayer 04 Leverkusen will have to manage without Timothy Fosu-Mensah in the coming months. The defender suffered a torn cruciate in his right knee in the 2-1 defeat against SC Freiburg in the Bundesliga on Sunday night.

The injury to the Dutchman, who joined the Werkself from Manchester United during the winter transfer window, requires an operation. Following that, Fosu-Mensah will complete his rehab at the Leverkusen 'Werkstatt'.

"It's a tough blow for Timothy," declared sporting director Simon Rolfes. "We will do all we can to support him and help him come back stronger from this difficult situation."
