Following the 1-1 draw with Sportfreunde Lotte on Saturday, the coaching staff led by Heiko Herrlich have organised six training sessions this week. The first four are open before the closed sessions from Thursday for the final run-in to Saturday's league fixture.
As at the start of the season, the week began for Bernd Leno, Kevin Volland and Co. with a detailed video analysis of the matches against FC Bayern and Lotte. Then it was off to the training ground in cold conditions and light rain. In addition to Vlad Yurchchenko, who was working on his comeback from a foot injury on the training ground this morning, Charles Aránguiz and Stefan Kießling were both absent. The pair worked individually at the Werkstatt.
Aránguiz did join his team-mates later on Tuesday morning. However, Stefan Kießling was unable to take part in the strenuous training session because of a private engagement. He may return for the afternoon session. The 15.30 CET session will be broadcast live on Facebook from 16.00 CET.
It all kicks off in around a week and a half! The new season of the VBL Club Championship by WOW starts on 16 October. And before the Leverkusen eSports players Marc and Sean Landwehr plus Markus Hüttemann and Keanu Senkbeil compete on the console again, bayer04.de provides an overview of the structural changes for the upcoming eSports season. The changes affect both the match procedure in individual fixtures and the entire competition mode.
