Two Bayer 04 pros picked up injuries in the home game against Werder Bremen (1-1): Ömer Toprak suffered an ankle injury and he will miss the Champions League match against Atlético Madrid. Bernd Leno was involved in a collision with Bremen's Gebre Selassie on 65 minutes when he ruptured a nasal cartilage. He undergoes an operation today. However, the Germany international keeper will probably be available for Wednesday’s match at the Vicente Calderon.
