Bayer Leverkusen winger Nathan Tella is a doubt for Saturday's Bundesliga clash against Holstein Kiel, according to manager Xabi Alonso, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
Tella played 85 minutes in last weekend's 0-0 draw against Bayern Munich, but sustained a hip injury during the encounter.
Alonso has revealed that Tella will be assessed ahead of the match at the Holstein-Stadion, but admitted there are doubts over his availability.
"We'll train now and we'll see with Nathan, there are some doubts with him," Alonso told Werkself Xtra. "It's not an injury, but discomfort. It has something to do with the hip. We need to see how he feels today."
Alonso confirmed that the rest of the squad is fit and available for selection, but a decision on Tella's participation will be made later.
