Available Saturday Forsberg will be available for Saturday's match against Borussia Monchengladbach after overcoming a knee injury.
Impact Forsberg hoped to return by last week's loss to Liverpool but needed more time to regain his fitness. He's been in-and-out of the lineup all season as a part of a wider rotation plan among one of the lowest scoring attacking groups in the league, so Forsberg has only started in 12 of his 18 appearances. He'll hope to get back in the lineup by Saturday's match against Gladbach, which are tied for the third-most goals conceded to forwards in the Bundesliga.
