Malik Tillman is doubtful for Tuesday’s second-leg against Olympiacos after suffering an ankle injury in Bayer Leverkusen’s 1-0 loss to Union Berlin on Saturday.

Union’s Stanley Nsoki was yellow-carded for his studs-up foul on Tillman in the 3rd minute. Tillman played until subbed in the 81st minute but was seen limping as he left the stadium.

“It will be difficult with Malik,” Kaspar Hjulmand said on Monday. “It hasn’t been fully decided yet, but it doesn’t look very good. The decision will be made tomorrow.”
