The 18-year-old has worn the Black and Red shirt since 2013 and he has made 16 appearances for the Bayer 04 U19s in the current U19 Bundesliga West campaign. He has also been very much in demand with the Germany youth teams. Boller (pictured above in the middle with Lucas Alario and Sam Schreck in the game at Heidenheim) has earned 15 caps for the Germany U17 team and he was a first choice in central defence at the 2017 European Championships in Croatia as well as the World Cup in the same year in India. He played alongside Kai Havertz in the Bayer 04 U17s in 2016 when they won the Germany U17 championships with a 2-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund in the final.
Bayer 04 Leverkusen will have to manage without centre-back Edmond Tapsoba in the coming weeks. The Burkina Faso international returned to the Werkself from the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco with a muscle injury.

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.
