Achilles injury: Hradecky sidelined for weeks

Bayer 04 Leverkusen will have to continue to manage without first-choice keeper Lukas Hradecky. That was the outcome of a number of examinations of the Finland goalkeeper. The 31-year-old suffered an injury to his right Achilles’ tendon in the first half of the Bundesliga match against FSV Mainz 05 on 13 February (2-2).

A return to training is dependent on the progress of his recovery. The unanimous diagnosis from the doctors means Lukas Hradecky will be out of action until after the international break at the end of March.
