Bayer Leverkusen have announced that promising young midfielder Kennet Eichhorn has been diagnosed with a metabolic disorder. The club confirmed there is no timeline for his return and stated that his health is the top priority.

The diagnosis raises concerns about his long-term career prospects as the club and medical staff evaluate the best path forward.
