Franck Honorat - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Suffers apparent calf injury Honorat provided one assist before being forced off due to an apparent calf injury in Tuesday's 2-1 defeat against St. Pauli in the DFB Pokal, according to 90min.

Impact Honorat had an excellent outing in Tuesday's DFB Pokal game as he was very impactful in the frontline with his crosses, finding an assist for Haris Tabakovic's equalizer before being forced off a few minutes later due to an apparent calf injury. This is a blow for Gladbach since he has been the main reason for the recent good form of the club with four victories in a row across all competitions and the promising draw against Leipzig on Friday. If Honorat had to miss time due to injury, Shuto Machino is expected to get a larger role in the frontline until he returns.

Another assist to name Honorat assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 3-1 win against 1. FC Koln.

Impact November has been an excellent month for Honorat, whose two appearances then include an assist for each. It looks like the Frenchman is finally back on track, considering he did not log any goals or assists from August to October. During the 2024-25 Bundesliga, as part of Monchengladbach, Honorat recorded four goals and seven assists in 19 appearances (18 starts).

NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Delivers assist on Saturday Honorat made an assist, had one shot on goal, created three chances and sent in five crosses (three accurate) during Saturday's 4-0 win over Mainz.

Impact Honorat had a very active first half and that included an assist for Haris Tabakovic to make it 2-0 in the 40th minute. However, the attacked still got subbed out just before the hour mark, when Shuto Machino replaced him. Maybe it was just for load management purposes, as Honorat came off a groin injury a couple weeks ago but, with Machino also making most of his playing time, competition can for a starting spot can get very interesting in the upcoming weeks.

NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Available off bench Honorat (groin) is on the bench for Friday's match against Union Berlin.

Returning Friday Honorat (groin) is an option for Friday's match against Union Berlin, according to manager Eugen Polanski. "He is back in full training. Franck has been increasing his workload rec...

Impact Honorat has been training fully this week, and that has led him to his return, overcoming a groin injury.

Training fully Honorat (groin) is back in full team training, Rheinische Post reports.

Impact Honorat is in full team training after overcoming a groin issue and could make a full return during Friday's trip to Union Berlin. The winger would be an immediate part of the starting XI if deemed fully fit. With Robin Hack (knee) and Giovanni Reyna (thigh) in doubt for that clash Friday, Honorat would be a major boon if deemed fit to return.

OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Eyeing return Friday Honorat (groin) is eyeing a return when facing Union Berlin on Friday, but is not yet ready for starting minutes, according to Hannah Gobrecht of Rheinische Post.

Impact Honorat is continuing to train and up his fitness levels this week after his return to training during the first week of the break. However, he still seems to be limited and is not ready for the starting time, instead expected to be a bench option if fit. This is still positive after he missed their last three games following a starting role to begin the season, a role he should return to after testing his legs.

OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice pitch Honorat (groin) has returned to limited team training, according to Thomas Grulke of Rheinische Post.

Impact Honorat was expected to rejoin training this week and has, in a limited manner, leaving for the last hour of the session.

The club resumes play Oct. 17 against Union Berlin following the international break, with Honorat hoping he can reach full fitness by then.

OCTOBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Still out Honorat (groin) isn't an option for Sunday's clash with Freiburg, according to manager Eugan Podolski.

Uncertain Saturday Honorat (groin) is a doubt for Saturday's clash with Eintracht Frankfurt, according to manager Eugan Podolski.

Impact Honorat suffered the groin injury ahead of a Sunday clash with Leverkusen and remains a heavy doubt. He hasn't been entirely ruled out, but it's not looking positive for Honorat to make a quick return.

Impact Honorat is heading to the sidelines for the time being, wtith the attacker suffering from an adductor injury. This is a tough loss for the club, as he is a regular on the right flank.

This season for his second at the club, Honorat missed a long period due to an injury but delivered a solid campaign, scoring five goals and providing nine assists in 21 appearances.

Scores, assists Honorat scored one goal and assisted once from three shots and two chances created in Saturday's 4-3 defeat to Holstein Kiel.

Impact Honorat delivered an assist in Alassane Plea's goal to even things up midway through the second half, and he'd end up scoring Monchengladbach's third goal shortly after. The forward made the most of his 30-minute cameo off the bench, but he won't have a lot of upside if he continues to play off the bench on a regular basis.
