Aránguiz and Sinkgraven sidelined
Bayer 04 will have to manage without Charles Aránguiz and Daley Sinkgraven in the coming weeks. Both players were injured in the Bundesliga home game against RB Leipzig on Saturday 5 October.
The Chile international Aránguiz suffered a hairline fracture in his right metatarsal as well as a muscle injury to his thigh in the closing stages of the Bundesliga game against RB Leipzig. As a result of the injuries, the midfielder will now be unavailable for the forthcoming Chile internationals against Colombia and Guinea. Aránguiz will also not be available for the Werkself in the next Bundesliga game at Eintracht Frankfurt on 18 October.
Daley Sinkgraven came off worse. The left back picked up a thigh injury in the first half of the Bundesliga top match against Leipzig. Sinkgraven had to be substituted at half-time and he is expected to be out of action for several weeks.

New seating for the BayArena - donation and reuse of existing seats
A fresh look for the BayArena: The Bayer 04 stadium will have new seating in the form of folding seats for the 2026/27 campaign that will ensure significantly improved seating comfort and simplified movement within the rows of seats. As part of routine replacement after 17 years, fans of the Werkself were able to purchase the existing seats, used to witness the first German league title in the club's history. In addition, a large proportion of the seats will be donated to charitable projects, primarily in the local region. Bayer 04 fans can look forward to new, functional folding seats for the season opener at the beginning of August - still in the club colours of black and red, of course. A glimpse at the BayArena during the refurbishment.
