Exequiel Palacios
26-Year-Old
Bayer Leverkusen
Bundesliga
OUT
Injury Groin
Est. Return 1/10/2026
Won't return before 2026
Palacios has suffered a groin injury in Friday's 3-1 victory against Frankfurt and won't return before 2026, the club announced.
ANALYSIS
Palacios will miss the rest of 2025 with a groin injury suffered in Friday's clash against the eagles. This is a big blow for Leverkusen since the midfielder is an undisputed starter when fit. His absence will have to be replaced in the midfield, with Aleix Garcia likely getting a larger role while he is out.
