Loic Bade
25-Year-Old
Bayer Leverkusen
Bundesliga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Bade logged a career-high in minutes during the 2024/25 season, making 32 appearances (31 starts) and establishing himself as a central figure in Sevilla's back line. He contributed 47 tackles, winning 27, while also recording one goal and assist. Since the departure of Sergio Ramos last summer, Bade stepped into a larger role, serving as the defensive anchor alongside Kike Salas. While his attacking output is limited since he isn't overly active on sets, his defensive numbers are stout and more than eight clean sheets should be a real possibility in the new season.
Back fit and option to start
Bade (thigh) recovered from his muscle injury and is an option for Saturday's clash against Wolfsburg, including a potential starting role, according to coach Kasper Hjulmand, per Die Zeit.
ANALYSIS
Bade has been sidelined for around a month with a thigh injury, but his return to full fitness is a timely boost for Leverkusen heading into the final stretch of the season. The French center-back was back in training with the group before the break and has now been cleared to feature, giving coach Hjulmand a welcome option in central defense at a time when the Werkself are pushing hard on multiple fronts. His return could not come at a better time given the mounting injury concerns at the back.
