Leverkusen appointed Andrish as the new captain, which Andrish called a huge honor.

Leverkusen's former captain was goalkeeper Hradetsky, but he transferred to Monaco a week ago. This week, Leverkusen appointed Andrish as the new captain, and the 30-year-old German midfielder Andrish joined Leverkusen in 2021.

Andrich said: "This is a huge honor for me and I am very happy about it. This is the appreciation of the coach and the coaching team." Andrich revealed that he learned the good news on Tuesday, and the club informed the whole team on Wednesday.

Leverkusen coach Tenhach said: "Andrich is the right person for the captain position, which is a natural choice. Andrrich is a natural leader in the preseason. There are other captain candidates. We have several leading players on our team, but he has taken the lead and is very active."
