Verena Wieder sidelined by meniscus tear

Striker Verena Wieder will no longer be available for Bayer 04 Leverkusen. The 23-year-old, who is transferring to SV Werder Bremen in the summer, suffered a meniscus tear in her right knee in Sunday's final training session before Bayer 04 Women's last game of the season against Werder.

An MRI scan on Tuesday revealed the extent of the injury. Wieder will be operated on in the coming days. The former German youth international is expected to be out for four to five months. Wieder will complete some of her rehabilitation at the club's 'Werkstatt' rehabilitation and training centre at the BayArena, even beyond the end of her contract.
