Bayer Leverkusen has received a much-needed boost as star defender Edmond Tapsoba has been given the all-clear following an injury scare.
The 25-year-old Burkina Faso international missed his nation’s match against Malawi and underwent an MRI to assess his complaints.
Reports from BILD and Kicker confirm no major concerns, sparking optimism that Tapsoba will feature in Saturday’s Bundesliga clash against Heidenheim. His return would be timely, as Bayer Leverkusen faces uncertainty over Nordi Mukiele, who is nursing a thigh muscle injury and has been limited to individual training sessions.
Tapsoba has been a defensive stalwart this season, clocking ten Bundesliga appearances and anchoring the Werkself’s backline. With Leverkusen aiming to maintain their strong league position, having Tapsoba fit and ready could be pivotal.
Fans and teammates alike will be eager to see the defender back in action, providing the stability needed as Leverkusen heads into a crucial stretch of their campaign.
