LeverkusenMuscular issue rules him out
Tella (undisclosed) is ruled out of Saturday's clash against Stuttgart due to muscular problems, the club posted.
Analysis: Tella's absence forces a reshuffle in Leverkusen's attack for the penultimate fixture of the season, with Christian Kofane stepping into the front line in his place. The club will hope the muscular issue proves minor enough to have him available for next week's season finale against Hamburger, with Leverkusen keeping a close eye on his condition over the coming days before making any decisions on his involvement in the final fixture of the campaign.
Assists and scores
Tella had an assist and scored a goal while taking four shots (three on goal), crossing three times (one accurate) and creating three chances during Saturday's 4-1 win over RB Leipzig.
Analysis: Tella set up Patrik Schick fot the opening goal in the 25th minute before scoring himself in the 45th. The attacker has combined for three goal involvements, 10 shots, seven chances created and nine crosses over his last three starts.
Provides one assist
Tella assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 win against 1. FC Koln.
Analysis: Tella played a direct role in Saturday's 2-1 win over Koln, delivering a left-sided cross in the second half that Patrik Schick stabbed home at the back post to double the lead and effectively settle the Rhine derby, while adding two key passes, two crosses and one interception. Tella has now registered three assists across 16 Bundesliga appearances this season, contributing consistently in a supporting attacking role during their Champions League qualification push.
