Leverkusen sidelining Eichhorn due to metabolic disorder diagnosis

Bayer Leverkusen has announced that Kennet Eichhorn will be sidelined indefinitely after a recent diagnosis of a metabolic disorder. The 17-year-old midfielder made this decision in consultation with club management, leading to his exclusion from squad planning for the first half of the season. The ongoing uncertainty about his condition has forced the club to adjust its lineup, and players previously considered for transfers are now expected to compete for his position. Eichhorn will not be nominated for the Europa League in this period.
