Sidney Sam will be out for several weeks after tearing a muscle
12 minutes into his comeback on Saturday and will also miss the
Champions League round of 16 clash against Barcelona, the club
said on Sunday.
"The medical check revealed a tear of a muscle bundle that
means Sam, who had just recovered, will be out for several
weeks," Leverkusen said in a statement.
Sam had returned in the 2-2 draw against VfB Stuttgart as a
72nd-minute substitute after being injured during the winter
training camp and missing the first two league games of the year
for last season's runners-up Leverkusen.
The 2002 Champions League finalists take on holders
Barcelona on February 14 before travelling to Spain for the second
leg on March 7.
