Palacios sidelined with muscle injury
Bayer 04 Leverkusen will have to manage without Exequiel Palacios in the next few matches. The Argentinian midfielder suffered an injury to his left thigh in yesterday's Bundesliga match at Hertha Berlin (2-2).
Palacios went off on 41 minutes and he was replaced by Charles Aránguiz. The injury means the player will miss the opportunity to play for Argentina at the end of September in the international fixtures against Honduras and Jamaica in the USA.
