Bayer Leverkusen does not have a current player in the Germany national football team. The squad selected by head coach Jürgen Klopp contains 44 players, but none from the Werkself.
This is a notable situation for the reigning German champions of 2024. The high standards within the club itself can sometimes limit international call-ups. The team under manager Xabi Alonso is currently focused on the ongoing season. Bayer Leverkusen sits seventh in the Bundesliga table with four points from three matches. Their recent form reads three wins, one draw, and one loss from the last five competitive games.
Andrich as a Fan Favourite
One player closely associated with the club is Robert Andrich. The midfielder wearing the number 8 shirt enjoys significant popularity with the supporters. During the last team presentation at the home stadium, the stadium announcer called out his name. "Robert, he said, 'ANDRICH!'," the announcer stated. The crowd responded with loud applause and vocal support for the player.
The Werkself now turns its attention to the next important fixture. On Friday, September 20, Bayer Leverkusen hosts fifth-placed RB Leipzig. The current injury list includes Kennet Eichhorn, Montrell Culbreath, Nathan Tella, and Ibrahim Maza.
