German club Bayer Leverkusen has announced that Jamaican winger Leon Bailey will be out of action for several weeks because of a muscle tear.

The 21-year-old picked up the injury during the first half of the club’s opening group match in the UEFA Champions League against Lokomotiv Moscow on Wednesday.

He was substituted at half-time. 

The injury could also force Bailey to miss the Reggae Boyz's Concacaf Nations League match against Aruba on October 12.

The match will be played at the National Stadium in St Andrew.

Bailey has scored two goals in six games for Bayer this season.
