Leon Bailey sidelined due to hamstring injury
Leon Bailey is set to miss the forthcoming Bayer 04 Leverkusen games.
The Jamaican suffered a hamstring injury in the first half of the home game against FC Nürnberg on Easter Saturday 20 April.
That was revealed after an MRI scan on Easter Sunday. It remains to be seen if he will be able to play again this term with progress depending on the healing process over the next few days.
Bailey has appeared in 29 out of 30 Bundesliga matches this season. The Werkself number nine has been directly involved in seven goals (five goals and two assists) in the current campaign.

Matchday news #HSVB04: Positive record against strong at home HSV
Bayer 04 face Hamburger SV for the first time in almost eight years. Although the Hanseatic city team are often below par on the road, they are regularly in top form in front of their own fans. In particular, 18-year-old shooting star Luka Vuskovic is proving to be a real bonus for Merlin Polzin's team, both in attack and defence. However, that should not scare the Werkself: Not only was the last defeat against the newly promoted team 17 games ago, but Kasper Hjulmand's players are in with a chance of securing their fifth win in six games against HSV. Today’s matchday news.
