Amine Adli - Won't return in 2024 Adli suffered a fractured left fibula during Wednesday's draw against Brest and is not expected to return until January 2025 at the earliest, the club announced Thursday.

Impact Adli had recorded three starts in 10 appearances with Leverkusen this season, so his absence won't make much of an impact from a fantasy perspective. He has yet to score or assist in 2024/25, and he's expected to return to training after the Bundesliga winter break.

Kenny Lala - Creative from right-back Lala took an off target shot, crossed four times inaccurately and created three chances during Wednesday's 1-1 draw with Leverkusen.

Impact Lala was held off the scoresheet, but was creative from right-back leading Brest in crosses and chances created. The fullback is a locked in starter when fit and has attacking upside from open play due to his ability to consistently cross the ball.

Marco Bizot - Two saves in draw Bizot allowed a goal while making two saves during Wednesday's 1-1 draw with Leverkusen.

Impact Bizot allowed the opening goal of the match in the 24th minute, but held Leverkusen from there as Brest came from behind for a point. The keeper has allowed just two goals while combining for 11 saves through his opening three starts in the Champions League.

Impact Lees-Melou found the back of the net in the 39th minute to level the score for Brest while leading the team in shots, blocks and tackles. Lees-Melou has started back-to-back matches in all competitions after making his season debut at the start of the month following an absence with a leg injury to open the campaign.

Jonas Hofmann - Sets up Leverkusen's lone goal Hofmann had an assist with his lone chance created while crossing twice inaccurately and taking an off target shot during Wednesday's 1-1 draw with Brest.

Impact Hofmann set up Florian Wirtz in the 24th minute assisting the opening goal of the match. Hofmann made his first Champions League start in the match as he's played in only three matches this season between the Bundesliga and UCL.

Alex Grimaldo - Creates two chances Grimaldo took an off target shot, crossed seven times (one accurate) and created two chances during Wednesday's 1-1 draw with Brest.

Impact Grimaldo was held off the scoresheet, but led Leverkusen in both crosses and chances created in the match. Grimaldo hasn't had a goal involvement in over a month, but remains a creative threat any time he's on the pitch due to a role on set pieces.

Florian Wirtz - Returns to starting XI Wirtz scored a goal while taking four shots (two on goal), crossing once inaccurately and creating two chances during Wednesday's 1-1 draw with Brest.

Impact Wirtz found the back of the net in the 24th minute opening the scoring in the match while leading Leverkusen in shots and chances created. Wirtz returned to the starting XI in the match after being a substitute this past weekend against Frankfurt and has now scored three goals in Leverkusen's opening three Champions League matches.
