Impact Tabakovic had been written off entirely after suffering an ankle fracture during the Bundesliga season finale, making his continued presence in the squad a remarkable development given the severity of the initial diagnosis. Bosnia will manage his return carefully and the coaching staff will have a clearer picture of his availability for the later stages of the group phase once he begins training with the squad, with the prospect of having their most prolific striker available at some point during the tournament a significant potential boost for coach Barbarez's side.

Impact Tabakovic had been initially ruled out of the World Cup after suffering an ankle fracture during the season finale against Hoffenheim, with a recovery timeline of at least three months casting serious doubt over his participation.

Haris Tabakovic - Ankle fracture ends WC dream Tabakovic suffered an ankle fracture in the 72nd minute of Saturday's season finale against Hoffenheim and is expected to miss at least three months, ruling him out of the World Cu...

Impact Tabakovic had scored earlier in the match before the injury occurred following a challenge with Ozan Kabak, and is now wearing a cast on his leg with an official diagnosis still pending. If surgery is required, the recovery timeline could extend to around six months, making his absence from the tournament virtually certain regardless. The striker ends a strong loan campaign at Gladbach with 13 goals and two assists across his 32 Bundesliga appearances (28 starts), having been one of the most productive strikers in the division before the cruel injury on what was supposed to be his farewell appearance. Tabakovic will now return to parent club Hoffenheim as both his immediate future and long-term recovery plan are determined.

Haris Tabakovic - Forced off with ankle injury Tabakovic (ankle) was forced off in the 74th minute of Saturday's clash against Hoffenheim after twisting his ankle, having scored in the first half.

Impact Tabakovic's early exit is a concerning development given that Bosnia and Herzegovina's World Cup campaign begins in June, making the timing of the injury particularly worrying.

He was replaced by Shuto Machino, with the full extent of the injury yet to be confirmed. The results of further examination will be crucial in determining whether Tabakovic can recover in time to represent Bosnia at the World Cup.

Impact Kleindienst's last appearance came in late November 2025, when he managed one minute in the 0-0 draw against Leipzig, making Saturday's return a significant milestone after a lengthy knee injury. The 30-year-old has not publicly ruled out a World Cup dream, with Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann set to announce his squad on May 21, leaving approximately four weeks before the opening match against Curacao on June 14. Manager Julian Nagelsmann has previously expressed interest in having a player of Kleindienst's profile available for the tournament, and Saturday's appearance could serve as a timely reminder of what he brings to the table.

Impact Tabakovic's return is well-timed given the sentimental nature of Saturday's fixture, which will mark his final appearance in a Borussia Monchengladbach shirt for the time being as his loan from Hoffenheim comes to an end. The striker had missed last weekend's match due to the muscular issue before easing back into training earlier in the week. Gladbach have left the door open for a potential return in the future, giving supporters some hope of seeing him back at the club beyond this season.

Rocco Reitz - Illness ends season prematurely Reitz (illness) will miss Saturday's final Bundesliga fixture against Hoffenheim after being sidelined by illness since the start of the week, according to coach Eugen Polanski. "U...

Impact Reitz's absence confirms that last weekend's match was his final appearance in a Borussia Monchengladbach shirt, with the 23-year-old set to join RB Leipzig next season. The midfielder finishes the campaign having contributed four assists across 31 Bundesliga appearances, serving as a consistent presence in Gladbach's engine room throughout the season. His departure at the end of the campaign represents a significant loss for the club, with Leipzig securing one of the more promising young midfielders in the Bundesliga ahead of next season.

Gio Reyna - Scores off bench Saturday Reyna scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and six chances created in Saturday's 3-1 defeat against Augsburg.

Impact Reyna made an impact despite logging limited minutes, as he scored a consolation goal from close range in stoppage time against Augsburg. He also showed his distributing skills by tallying six chances created in the game. His role has steadily grown since his recovery from a muscle injury in February, although he has yet to overtake Kevin Stoger or Wael Mohya for a starting position. In any case, the goal and solid performance should give the USMNT international a confidence boost ahead of the World Cup.

Other than that, Reitz achieved a game-high five tackles while featuring as part of a three-man midfield. The assist was his second in consecutive outings and raised his total to four in 31 starts. He's in great form, standing out for a balanced output in most games and limiting his fouls that had led to a constant disciplinary weakness earlier in the season.

Joe Scally - Struggles against Augsburg Scally recorded one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-1 defeat to Augsburg. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 49th minute.

Impact Scally saw his few defensive contributions offset by a yellow card and a 22 percent success rate in individual duels during this match. It was a bitter outcome for the full-back, who was coming off a pair of clean sheets, delivering convincing performances on both flanks. He has retained significant playing time throughout the year, with occasional attacking upside complementing his defensive and possession stats.

MAY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Moritz Nicolas - Makes seven saves against Augsburg Nicolas registered seven saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-1 loss versus Augsburg.

Impact Nicolas played well despite the overwhelming loss, improving on his league-leading average of 4.0 saves per game.

Haris Tabakovic - Not available Saturday Tabakovic (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Augsburg.

Impact Tabakovic has been unable to pass his late fitness test after coach Eugen Polanski confirmed a final decision would be made following Friday's session, with the minor injury that had forced him to cut short Wednesday's training proving too significant to clear in time. The forward had been limited to a reduced intensity session Thursday, and the club ultimately decided against risking him for the Augsburg fixture despite the coach's cautiously optimistic assessment earlier in the week. His availability for the coming fixtures will be monitored closely as the undisclosed issue continues to be assessed.

Impact Tabakovic returned to training Thursday but was limited to a reduced intensity session, leaving his availability for the weekend uncertain. Manager Eugen Polanski's cautiously optimistic assessment suggests the issue is not considered serious, though the club is unwilling to take any risks before receiving further feedback from the player and medical staff Friday. His inclusion in the starting lineup remains in doubt even if he is cleared to feature, with the coaching staff likely to assess his physical response to the workload before making a final call.

MAY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Nico Elvedi - Suspended one game Elvedi will serve a one-match ban due to an accumulation of five yellow cards in the Bundesliga.

Impact Elvedi picked up his fifth yellow card in the Bundesliga and will serve a one-match suspension for Saturday's clash against Augsburg. The center-back has been an undisputed starter in the defense for Gladbach this season, therefore his absence will force a change in the starting XI, with Fabio Chiarodia likely replacing him for that game.
