Leverkusen’s Friedrich to miss several weeks (AP)

Bayer Leverkusen defender Manuel Friedrich will miss several weeks because of a broken shoulder blade. The Bundesliga club says Friedrich was injured in Saturday's 3-0 win over Wolfsburg. Friedrich left the game after 14 minutes. Leverkusen is 12 points behind Borussia Dortmund in second place, which secures a direct slot in next season's Champions League.
