Germany: Maza's injury raises concerns at Bayer Leverkusen!

Oct 8, 2026

Injured during the match against Niger after participating in all three of Algeria's games, Ibrahim Maza must now undergo examinations. The severity of his ankle injury is yet to be determined.

Ibrahim Maza finished the national team's camp with great concern. Starting in all three of Algeria's matches during this international window, the 20-year-old attacking midfielder was forced to leave the field against Niger after a collision with his right ankle. Injured around the 35th minute, he initially tried to continue playing before finally leaving the field in the 40th minute.

The severity of his injury has not yet been established. Maza reportedly suffered a blow to the upper part of his right ankle following a duel with Omar Sako, and examinations are now necessary to determine the precise nature of the injury. His participation in the upcoming league match remains uncertain, as his club awaits news to learn more.

This alert comes at a time when Maza had secured a key role in the team. Before the break, he had participated in four Bundesliga matches, each time playing the full 90 minutes, with one goal and one assist to his name. His ability to play between the lines and create opportunities in tight spaces already made him one of the most influential players on his team.

A potential prolonged absence would therefore be particularly unwelcome. The upcoming schedule is very demanding, with seven matches to be played in just 22 days. For Maza, the stakes are now clear: to hope that it is just a painful knock and to return to the pitch quickly.
