One-match ban for Benny Henrichs
Following his red card in the match against Leipzig, Benjamin Henrichs has received a one-match ban from the DFB sports tribunal.
That means the Werkself full-back will not be available for the away game at Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday 25 November. Henrichs was brought on by head coach Heiko Herrlich for the start of the second half against Leipzig and he handled the ball on the goal-line on 52 minutes. Referee Harm Osmers (Hannover) proceeded to issue a red card and award a penalty for the visitors. Bayer 04 have agreed to the suspension and it comes into effect immediately.

The Werkself face Manchester City for the very first time on Tuesday for Matchday 5 of the league phase in the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League (kick-off: 21:00 CET). The hosts sit fourth in the standings and boast huge quality in attack, while Leverkusen are looking to improve their meagre record of just one win from the last 10 games away at English clubs. A key player in that regard could be Aleix Garcia, the former City midfielder who ranks highly in several passing metrics in the Champions League this season.
