Bad news for Alejandro Gálvez and Werder Bremen: The centre back suffered a minor syndesmosis ligament tear during the game against Bayer Leverkusen and will be sidelined for several weeks. The diagnosis was revealed after a thorough examination on Monday afternoon. An exact prognosis for the recovery timeframe is not possible at this time.

The Spaniard turned his ankle during the 2-1 win over the Champions League participants and had to be withdrawn. Assani Lukimya came on for Gálvez and helped see out the result. A long-term injured centre back did return to team training on Monday though. Austrian Sebastian Prödl was back on board following a lateral collateral ligament tear in his knee.
