There have been positive Covid-19 cases at the Spanish top-flight club and the club management responded by cancelling the trip to Germany. Bayer 04 are now looking for a new opponent for the final pre-season friendly. The Werkself kick off the new season on 7 August with the DFB Cup tie against FC Lokomotive Leipzig.
Tickets for the friendly against FC Utrecht, with the kick-off at the Ulrich Haberland Stadium at 16.00 CEST on Wednesday 28 July, are exclusively available from the Bayer 04 service centre on 0214 5000 1904. Away fans are not permitted; spectators must be double vaccinated, have recovered from the virus or have a negative test. Children over the age of six need a certified, negative test result. The relevant documents are to be shown on entering the stadium.
Tickets cost five euros. All proceeds go to the 'Leverkusen hilft' campaign organised by the Leverkusen community foundation.
Bayer 04 will have to manage without forward Moussa Diaby for their upcoming matches. The 27-year-old Frenchman sustained a thigh injury in the 3-0 defeat against TSG Hoffenheim yesterday afternoon, Sunday 25 October. Diaby is expected to be available again after the international break in November.
