Super Eagles: Eric Chelle worried about in‑form winger ahead of Poland and Portugal friendlies

Bayer Leverkusen winger Nathan Tella is dealing with a muscle injury and remains a doubt for the club’s final Bundesliga match against Hamburg on Saturday, according to Afrik‑Foot.

Tella’s season has been turbulent, with the 26‑year‑old missing 17 games because of a series of knee, foot, and muscle problems.

After a recovery in late March, the former Southampton player returned to full fitness and delivered impressive performances, contributing a goal and two assists in his last two matches against RB Leipzig and FC Köln, helping Leverkusen’s late‑season push.

His importance was highlighted in the recent 3‑1 loss to Stuttgart, where his absence was keenly felt.
