Super Eagles winger Nathan Tella was missing in action as Bayer Leverkusen lost 3-1 to Stuttgart in Saturday’s Bundesliga game.
The Nigerian international, who was missing the game due to a muscle injury, has made 17 appearances, scored one, and bagged six assists this ongoing season for Leverkusen.
The visitors made a dream start, taking the lead inside the first minute as Stuttgart lost the ball in their half, with Christian Kofane setting up Aleix Garcia to score.

However, the home side were back on level terms within four further minutes thanks to a brilliant goal from Demirovic.
And Demirovic won a penalty in first-half stoppage time when he was tripped by Tapsoba, with Maximilian Mittelstadt converting after a VAR review upheld the decision.
But Stuttgart got the clinching goal in the 57th minute as Deniz Undav scored from close range, having been picked out by a brilliant cross from Jamie Leweling.
