Timothy Fosu-Mensah’s season at Bayer Leverkusen is well and truly over after suffering a serious injury at the weekend.
The 23-year-old defender suffered an ACL tear during Sunday’s Bundesliga match against Freiburg.
The Ghana-born Dutchman ruptured a cruciate ligament in his right knee and will require a surgery to correct the setback.
He now faces a battle to play against in 2021 which has seen his former Man United teammates take to social media to wish him well.
” It’s a hard blow for Timothy. We will do everything to support him and to return as soon as possible with his colleagues ”, said Simon Rolfes, the sporting director of Bayer Leverkusen.
The right-back has slotted in well at the club, impressing so far since joining.
But he is faces a long battle in the treatment room after suffering the serious injury at the weekend- which means his campaign is over and now faces the road back to fitness.
Bayer Leverkusen is currently 6th in the Bundesliga, with 37 points after 23 stages, 8 points from the podium.
