Bayer 04 Leverkusen have confirmed that French defender Loïc Badé suffered a thigh muscle injury during their February 21 Bundesliga clash against 1. FC Union Berlin. Softfootball understands the setback will sideline him for few weeks, dealing a blow to Leverkusen’s title defense ambitions.
The recent development was reported by Bayer 04 Leverkusen via their official X account.
They stated:
Loïc Badé will be missing for a few weeks after picking up a thigh injury in the match against 1. FC Union Berlin. Get well soon, Loïc!
The injury caused a mid-match delay in Leverkusen’s 2–1 victory, with fans quickly flooding social media with supportive messages wishing the defender a speedy recovery.
Badé joined the German champions last year from Sevilla FC after advanced negotiations between the clubs, making his absence a timely concern.
Meanwhile, at FC Bayern Munich, Jamal Musiala reached a historic milestone by becoming the youngest player to record 100 Bundesliga wins. His league journey began on June 20, 2020, in a 3–1 victory over SC Freiburg, where he played just two minutes.
Reaching a century of league wins at such a young age underlines Musiala’s consistency and growing influence within one of Europe’s most dominant sides.
