“Amy is a technically versatile and prolific centre-forward with good physicality. Unfortunately, her development has repeatedly been hampered by injuries,” said Achim Feifel, sporting director of the Bayer 04 Women’s team: “Nevertheless, her great potential is undisputed. She will receive our full support so she can, hopefully, return stronger after her serious injury.”
Wrigge joined Bayer 04 two years ago from SG Westküste in her home region of Schleswig-Holstein and has been part of the first-team squad for a year. Last season, she made her senior debut for the Werkself in the DFB Pokal and also made her first appearance in the Google Pixel Women’s Bundesliga in November. Since mid-March, the three-time U19 international has been recovering from a torn cruciate sustained in training.
“This contract extension means a great deal to me, especially right now,” says Wrigge: “The torn cruciate came as a shock to me at first. The fact the club is backing me so strongly at precisely this stage gives me a huge amount of strength and confidence for my rehabilitation. I’ll be working hard on my comeback so I can be fit and back on the pitch again soon.”
After back-to-back away defeats, Bayer 04 Women now face their penultimate home fixture of 2026 as they welcome Hamburg to the Ulrich-Haberland-Stadion on Saturday (14:00 CET) seeking three important points in the Google Pixel Bundesliga.

After three consecutive wins in the Europa League, the Werkself suffered their first European defeat of the season against Marseille.

Miguel Gutiérrez came closest to putting Leverkusen ahead with a shot that hit the crossbar. In the second half, the French side produced clinical finishing, with Amine Gouiri scoring from a counter-attack to make it 1-0 (77’). Right up to the final whistle, the Werkself threw everything forward in search of an equaliser, but were unable to find a way back into the game.
