Impact Andrich appears set to return to Leverkusen's matchday squad after receiving permission to miss Thursday's European fixture for personal reasons. The 32-year-old defender remained with his family following the birth of his child, with coach Martinez expressing full support for his decision and confirming that everything had gone well. Andrich had already participated in training Wednesday and is expected to rejoin his teammates Friday, leaving him on track to feature against Hoffenheim. Although coach Martinez stopped short of guaranteeing his availability, there are no fitness concerns preventing the experienced defender from returning to competitive action. Andrich should therefore be in contention for a starting role Sunday, with his involvement depending on his return to regular training and the coaching staff's selection decisions.

Scores early in victory Andrich scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 4-3 win over Mainz.

Impact Andrich made an immediate impact with a strike from the edge of the penalty area before helping preserve Leverkusen's lead with a clearance off the line. Other than that, he won 80 percent of his individual duels during the match. It was a strong response after an inconsistent initial stretch, with the midfielder making his second start of the campaign, as well as his first in the Bundesliga competition. He remains in contention with Ezequiel Fernandez, who may have been managed after traveling for international duty. Still, the performance gives Andrich a stronger case for continued minutes in defensive midfield.
