Visit to Leverkusen hospital: Hradecky bears gifts for children

In the run-up to Christmas, community affairs and cooperation are centre stage at Bayer 04. The Werkself skipper Lukas Hradecky visited the children's hospital in Leverkusen on Wednesday 14 December. The goalkeeper – representing the team and the club – had plenty of presents for the children with him.

"For us, visiting the children here in the Leverkusen hospital has become a tradition and absolutely a matter of the heart," said Lukas Hradecky on site. "Unfortunately, it's not possible to spend time with them this year. We hope we will have the opportunity for that next year." Due to the respiratory disease RSV (Respiratory syncytial virus) the children's hospital in Leverkusen asked in advance for the visit to be shortened and held outside the children's ward.

Lukas Hradecky, who thanked the doctors and care staff for their work during his visit, therefore gave the presents for the children to Dr Frank Meier, senior physician at the children's clinic at the Leverkusen hospital, and his team. The nurses distributed the gifts of toys and clothing to the children on the ward – and together with Bayer 04 were able to provide some joy in the time before Christmas.

Werkself Review #FCBB04: Record away run ends due to 'big mistakes in first half'

After 37 games and two and a half years, the Werkself finally lost away from home in the Bundesliga. Kasper Hjulmand and his team were extremely self-critical after the 3-0 defeat to unbeaten league leaders Bayern Munich, but they were not demoralised. “We made too many mistakes in defence in certain phases of the first half. We’ll now continue to work on that and on our game management,” said Hjulmand after the match. All the reaction, facts and figures are here in our review.
