Volland sidelined with ankle injury
It looks likely Bayer 04 will have to manage without Kevin Volland for three months. The 27-year-old striker suffered a torn ligament in his left ankle in a challenge in the Europa League game against FC Porto.
That was the outcome of a thorough medical examination completed on Monday 24 February. Volland has travelled to Munich for surgery at the Schön Klinik Harlaching. After that, the Allgäu-born player will begin his rehab at the Werkstatt in Leverkusen.
