Jeremie Frimpong is expected to return to Bayer Leverkusen’s starting line-up when they host Inter in the Champions League tonight.
The Dutchman has played all five games in this season’s Champions League, registering four assists, and has featured in 21 games across all competitions. Managing the player’s workload, Xabi Alonso opted to start Brazilian Arthur against St. Pauli but expect to see Frimpong in tonight’s XI.
Elsewhere, Leverkusen will be without Victor Boniface for the remainder of 2024 but after recovering from a calf injury, Patrik Schick is likely to be named on the bench. With a starting berth too soon for the Czech forward, Alonso could again opt for Nathan Tella and Florian Wirtz in attack, but another option would be Martin Terrier.
