MADRID (Reuters) - Bayer Leverkusen youngster Kai Havertz made his first start in the Champions League last month against Atletico Madrid but will be unable to help his team in Wednesday's last 16, second leg against Diego Simeone's side due to school exams.
Playmaker Havertz, 17, burst into the Leverkusen first team last October and has made eight 16 Bundesliga appearances this season, providing three assists, but the club announced on Tuesday that he had been left out of the trip to Atletico.
