The 26-year-old is in self-isolation following discussions with the relevant health authority and will therefore miss the Werkself training camp in Zell am See/Kaprun in Austria that starts tomorrow (Friday).
Rüdiger Vollborn has been at the club for 40 years, is Bayer 04’s record appearance holder in the Bundesliga with 401 games, and is the only Leverkusen player to have won both the UEFA Cup (1988) and the DFB-Pokal (1993).
