Tella Doubtful for Bayer Leverkusen in Match Against Hamburg

Nathan Tella is a major doubt for Bayer Leverkusen’s upcoming Bundesliga home match against Hamburg because of an injury, according to Completesports.com.

Tella missed last weekend’s 3‑1 defeat to VfB Stuttgart after suffering a muscle strain.

Kicker reports that Leverkusen are concerned about the fitness of the Nigerian international and striker Christian Kofane.

Kofane, a Cameroonian, sustained a shoulder injury in the match against Stuttgart.

Tella has been injury‑prone this season, missing 17 games.

The 26‑year‑old has scored one goal and provided four assists in 17 league appearances for Die Werkself.

Leverkusen must beat Hamburg and hope that VfB Stuttgart and Hoffenheim lose to secure a place in next season’s UEFA Champions League.
