Bayer Leverkusen's Piero Hincapie Suffers Season-Ending Injury
Missed Season Opener
Out for 10-12 Weeks
Bayer Leverkusen's Ecuadorian defender, Piero Hincapie, has been ruled out for approximately 10-12 weeks with a fractured metatarsal, the club announced. The injury occurred during the final moments of Leverkusen's 3-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt.
Hincapie had become a key player for Leverkusen, starting 23 Bundesliga matches last season. His absence will be a significant blow to the team as they prepare for the upcoming campaign.
Leverkusen opens their Bundesliga season away to Borussia Dortmund on August 6. They will also compete in the group stage of the Champions League.
Hincapie's injury history has been relatively clean, with no major setbacks prior to this incident. He is expected to make a full recovery and return to action before the end of the season.
