Bayer Leverkusen have released a statement confirmed that Jarell Quansah has suffered a muscle injury in his left thigh, sustained during their 3-3 Bundesliga draw away to Heidenheim, ruling him out of the upcoming fixtures against Uruguay and Japan. Jarell Quansah only recently made his senior England debut, starting in a 2-0 away win against Albania in a World Cup qualifying fixture in November 2025 – a performance that had put him firmly in contention for further involvement.

The club retain a buyback clause in Quansah’s contract, allowing Liverpool to maintain a degree of control over a potential return to England. Leverkusen have not confirmed a precise timeline for his return, but Jarell Quansah will hope this setback does not come at a crucial moment in his development, with both club and international opportunities hanging in the balance.
