Orlando - Bundesliga World Tour 2015 flag bearers Bayer 04 Leverkusen were dealt a blow during their first training session in Florida on Saturday when right-back Tin Jedvaj was forced to limp off with a thigh injury.

The AS Roma loanee, who was recently named

Croatia's most promising youngster of 2014

, suffered the injury on Saturday and will leave the Rhineland club's Florida training camp on Monday to travel back to Leverkusen.

On a more positive note for Roger Schmidt's side,

Kyriakos Papadopoulos

and Stefan Reinartz took part in both training sessions on Saturday. Greece international defender Papadopoulos has been recovering from a dislocated shoulder, while midfielder Reinartz has not featured for Leverkusen since fracturing an eye socket in the Rhinelanders' 1-0 victory over FC Schalke 04 in November. Leverkusen are due to face Fluminense in Orlando on Thursday (kick-off 23:00 CET), before taking on Corinthians in Jacksonville on Saturday (kick-off 19:00 CET).
