Rolfes: It is expected that Kwanza can play in the next round of the league, but the specific progress of his recovery needs to be monitored

Kwanza was called up by England to return to the national team from Leverkusen, hoping to represent the Three Lions. However, before the 22-year-old defender could get a minute of game time, his national team tour ended prematurely due to injury. The cause was inflammation of the patellar tendon in Kwansa's knee. Leverkusen sporting director Rolfes spoke about Kwansa's injury.

Leverkusen is relatively optimistic and believes that this minor injury will not affect Kwansa's participation in the Bundesliga game against Mainz 05 next Saturday.

Rolfes said: "We expect him to be able to play, but of course we still need to observe the progress of his recovery."

At the same time, Leverkusen also received good news. Center Schick is expected to return to the team for training next week. Schick suffered a thigh fascia injury in the previous game against St. Pauli and missed the games against PSV Eindhoven and Union Berlin due to injury.

If training goes well this week, he is expected to return against Mainz. However, the final decision still depends on whether he can successfully complete the team training.
