The Bayer Leverkusen Post
Squad28 Sep 2026
Jonas Omlin breaks a bone — 83 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 83 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.
Player ratings28 Sep 2026
Both of them Aleix García's — 8.21
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.21, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.
Match26 Sep 2026
Aleix García the difference as Bayer Leverkusen beat Union Berlin
Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Aleix García. 3‑1 against Union Berlin, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.
The terraces28 Sep 2026
One of their own: Bilal El Khannouss
He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Equi Fernández wants European nights
The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.
Squad28 Sep 2026
A row about effort at Bayer Leverkusen
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Miguel Gutiérrez was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Words exchanged at Bayer Leverkusen
Guéla Doué and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Moussa Diaby was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 16. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.
The dugout28 Sep 2026
Robert Böhm: “That is the standard”
“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 3‑1, already talking about the next one.
In brief
- The dugout Bayer Leverkusen pick somebody else ahead of Jonas Hofmann
- Market The Edmond Tapsoba talk will not go away
- The dugout No place in the plan for Nathan Tella
