Bayer Leverkusen Teenager Eichhorn Loses 5kg to Virus, Misses Training
Bayer Leverkusen's 16-year-old midfield prodigy Kennet Eichhorn, signed for €9 million after beating Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool, has been hit by a severe gastrointestinal virus. In just five days, he lost five kilograms, forcing him to undergo only individual recovery training. The club's medical team is taking a cautious approach to avoid overexertion. Eichhorn is not expected to rejoin full team training until next week and will miss the friendly against Kickers Offenbach. Sporting director Simon Rolfes cited long-standing family relationships as key to the signing. Eichhorn expressed confidence in Leverkusen's ability to develop young talent.
