Flick believes Wirtz will return to action strong as ever
The German star will be out of action for some time due to injury.
coach Hansie Flick has claimed that
Florian Wirtzwill return to action as strong as ever after his ligament injury.
The 18-year-old star suffered a serious injury yesterday during
Bayer Leverkusen's 1-0 defeat to Cologne in the 28th minute. He played in four national games and made his debut in September, preparing for the World Cup in November. Now his injury will be a severe blow to Flick, but the German coach expressed confidence that Wirtz will return to the field with strength.
"He is one of the greatest talents that German football has produced in recent years.
"That's why we were all shocked when we found out about his cruciate ligament rupture. I've already phoned him and tried to encourage him.
"He's still young, he'll come back at least as strong, I'm sure of it. He gets our full support.
"We wish him all the best and keep our fingers crossed that the healing process goes as optimally as possible."
Wirtz is one of the best players in the top 5 leagues in Europe with 10 goals and 14 assists. Bayern Munich and Liverpool are closely monitoring his situation.
