Starting during return
Flekken (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Leipzig.
Analysis: Flekken made a faster turnaround than initially anticipated after being ruled out of the Koln fixture with muscular problems following the DFB Pokal clash against Bayern Munich, with the club's final assessment returning a positive outcome and the coaching staff clearing him to reclaim his place between the posts. His return is a significant boost for Leverkusen, with Janis Blaswich reverting to a backup role after stepping in during his absence. His ability to recover in time after such an uncertain buildup is an encouraging sign for the club as they head into a demanding final stretch of the season.
Late call for Leipzig clash
Flekken (undisclosed) is a late call for Saturday's clash against Leipzig, with his availability depending on the final team training sessions, according to coach Kasper Hjulmand.
Analysis: Flekken had been ruled out of the Koln fixture with muscular problems following the DFB Pokal clash against Bayern, making his potential return for the Leipzig game a faster turnaround than initially anticipated. The club will make a final call after assessing how he comes through the remaining sessions, with Janis Blaswich having stepped in between the posts during his absence and ready to continue if Flekken cannot be cleared in time for Saturday.
Suffers muscular problems
Flekken has been ruled out of Saturday's clash against Koln after picking up muscular problems following the match against Bayern in the DFB Pokal, according to the club.
Analysis: Flekken's absence is a blow for Leverkusen heading into the weekend with no specific timeline provided for his return. Janis Blaswich is stepping in the starting XI between the posts in his absence and will hold the role until Flekken is back up to full fitness, with the club hoping the muscular issue proves minor enough to allow a swift return in the coming fixtures as the Werkself push through the final weeks of the season.
