The final session of the week has been completed. After yesterday's performance tests, the Werkself were back on the training ground on Friday morning.

In preparation for the first pre-season friendly against Wuppertaler SV on Saturday (17.00 CET, live on Bayer 04, Facebook and YouTube), head coach Peter Bosz included eight Werkself youth players - Ayman Azhil, Kevin Bukusu, Yannik Schlösser, Adrian Stanilewicz, Cem Tuna-Türkmen, Samed Onur and Marco Wolf plus keeper Marcel Lotka - in today's training session – in part because the international players are only due to return to the club on Sunday after the internationals in early June.

One international was back in Leverkusen in the middle of the week: Aleksandar Dragovic. After the minor muscle injury the 28-year-old suffered in the 4-1 win for Austria against North Macedonia, he completed an individual session with fitness coach Daniel Jouvin and physiotherapist Sven Elsinger on a neighbouring pitch.
