Bayer Leverkusen head coach Xabi Alonso has offered an update on Super Eagles international Nathan Tella ahead of the DFB Pokal quarter final clash against Koln, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
Nathan Tella's Bundesliga match against TSG Hoffenheim ended prematurely just before halftime. The Bayer 04 Leverkusen winger with his team leading 2-0,went down unchallenged, clutching his right hip.
Following a brief on-field treatment, he was substituted with new signing Emiliano Buendía taking his place. After the match which Leverkusen won 3-1, head coach Xabi Alonso provided a brief update on Tella's injury which he has now emphasized in his pressers ahead of the tie tomorrow.
"It's not so bad. We hope he'll be there on Wednesday," Alonso explained at the press conference as per LigaInsider.
Tella would be hoping to shake off the nudge just in time as he eyes full fitness in bid for a national recall.
