LeverkusenTo miss start of season
Culbreath will miss the start of Leverkusen's Bundesliga and DFB Pokal campaigns after picking up an injury during Saturday's 2-1 friendly win over Sevilla, the club announced.
Analysis: Culbreath was substituted in the 36th minute of the match. A precise diagnosis is expected to be established following further examinations, with no specific timeline disclosed at this stage. Jonas Hofmann and Lucas Vazquez could both benefit from the absence with an opportunity for increased minutes early in the season. Culbreath is expected to be reassessed as the club continues its evaluation.
Signs extension with Leverkusen
Culbreath signed a one-year contract extension with Bayer Leverkusen, extending his stay at the club through 2031, the club announced.
Analysis: Culbreath has made 16 appearances across all competitions for the first team, scoring one goal on his debut in the 3-1 victory at Leipzig in the 15th matchday of the Bundesliga. The 18-year-old winger joined Leverkusen from the Kaiserslautern under-17 side in the summer of 2023 and has shown encouraging progression that the club has chosen to reward with both the contract extension and a salary increase. Leverkusen, who finished sixth in the Bundesliga last season, view the young American as a player with significant potential and the extension reflects their confidence in his continued development at the club heading into the new campaign.
