Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso has given an update on Nathan Tella’s fitness ahead of their DFB Pokal semi-final match against Arminia Bielefeld.
Tella has been out with an injury for the past three weeks, but he might return to action on Tuesday night at the SchucoArena.
Alonso confirmed that the winger will take a late fitness test to see if he is ready to play.
“Nathan feels much better. We are training now, and if there is no problem, he will be in the squad for the Bielefeld match,” Alonso said during a press conference on Monday.
Leverkusen is aiming to reach the DFB Pokal final for the second year in a row. A win against Bielefeld will secure their place in the final.
