Bayer Leverkusen: Foot Injury! How Long Will Bayer Defender Belocian Be Out?

The Leverkusen central defender has suffered a foot injury in training and is expected to be out for several weeks.

Bayer Leverkusen have been dealt a blow with the news that defender Piero Hincapie has suffered a foot injury in training. The Ecuadorian international is expected to be out for several weeks, which is a major blow to the Bundesliga side.

Hincapie has been a key player for Leverkusen this season, making 15 appearances in all competitions. He has helped the team to keep seven clean sheets and has also scored one goal.

The injury is a big blow to Leverkusen, who are currently fourth in the Bundesliga table.

Hincapie's absence will leave a big hole in the Leverkusen defense. The 20-year-old has been one of the most consistent performers for the team this season and his loss will be a major setback.

Leverkusen will now have to look to other players to fill the void left by Hincapie. Edmond Tapsoba and Jonathan Tah are the most likely candidates to start in central defense alongside Odilon Kossounou.

Hincapie is expected to be out for several weeks, which means he could miss a number of important matches for Leverkusen.

The Ecuadorian international is likely to miss Leverkusen's next four Bundesliga matches, as well as their Europa League clash with Ferencvaros. He could also miss the DFB-Pokal semi-final against Union Berlin.

Hincapie's injury is a major blow to Leverkusen, who are still fighting for a place in the Champions League next season. The team will now have to hope that Hincapie can make a quick recovery and return to action as soon as possible.
