Hugo Bolin - Could be option Saturday Bolin (undisclosed) could be an option for Saturday's game against Mainz on Saturday, according to assistant manager Jan-Moritz Lichte. "With the exception of the long-term injured...

Impact Bolin missed Tuesday's training session, but based on Lichte's words, he could make the squad for the final match before the international break. Bolin has started in all three of Monchengladbach's matches in the current Bundesliga campaign, so if he's deemed fit enough, he's widely expected to keep his place in the XI.

Yukhym Konoplya - Returns to partial training Konoplya (knee) returned to partial team training Tuesday after spending nearly two months sidelined with an MCL injury, according to Rheinische Post.

Impact Konoplya took part in portions of the session with his teammates, marking another significant step in his recovery from the knee injury. The right-back still needs time before completing his return to full training and isn't expected to be available for the upcoming clash against Mainz. His return to competitive action will likely depend on how quickly he progresses through the final stages of his rehabilitation.

Daiki Hashioka - Returns to partial training Hashioka has returned to partial team training after spending nearly three weeks sidelined with a cervical spine issue and could be available for the upcoming Bundesliga clash agai...

Impact Hashioka took part in portions of Tuesday's session with his teammates, marking a significant step in his recovery following the three-week absence. The right-back has yet to resume full training, leaving his status against Mainz uncertain, but he could return to the squad if he continues to progress during the week. Joe Scally should continue to start at right-back until Hashioka is ready to return.

Jens Castrop - Resumes running Castrop (shoulder) has resumed running as he continues his recovery from shoulder surgery, according to Rheinische Post.

Impact Castrop has been sidelined for more than a month after dislocating his shoulder during a preseason friendly against Rottach-Egern and subsequently undergoing surgery. His return to running represents another step in his recovery, though he still needs additional time before rejoining team training. The midfielder therefore remains some way from returning to competitive action.

Hugo Bolin - Dealing with muscular issue Bolin missed Tuesday's team training due to a muscular issue and is uncertain for the upcoming Bundesliga clash against Mainz, according to Rheinische Post.

Impact Bolin was withdrawn at halftime of Saturday's 5-0 loss to Freiburg before sitting out the first team session of the week. The extent of the issue remains unclear, leaving his status against Mainz in doubt. His participation in training over the coming days should provide a better indication of his availability, with Shuto Machino expected to start in his place if Bolin is ruled out.

Zento Uno - Plays one half in return with U23s Uno (undisclosed) played one half of Saturday's 2-1 win over FC Gutersloh.

Impact Uno had recently been building toward a return, with coach Eugen Polanski previously saying he could gradually rebuild match rhythm with the U23 side after completing a full week of training without being included in the first team squad against Elversberg. This appearance now marks progress in that plan, and his path back to first team contention will continue to be managed carefully.

Moritz Nicolas - Flattened by Freiburg Nicolas allowed five goals while making four saves during Saturday's 5-0 loss to Freiburg.

Impact Nicolas allowed two goals in the first half and three in the second after Gladbach went down to 10 men. The keeper has allowed 12 goals while combining for 18 saves over his first three league starts. Gladbach take on Mainz at home next weekend.

Joe Scally - Sends in four crosses Scally crossed four times inaccurately, made an interception, two tackles (winning one) and a clearance during Saturday's 5-0 loss to Freiburg.

Impact Scally was active on both sides of the ball finishing with the second most crosses on the team and leading Gladbach in interceptions and tackles. The defender has a goal to go along with two shots, seven crosses, eight tackles and three clearances through the opening three matches of the year.

Tim Kleindienst - Sent off Saturday Kleindienst was sent off in the second half of Saturday's 5-0 loss to Freiburg.

Impact Kleindienst was shown a second yellow card in the 52nd minute forcing Gladbach down to 10 men. The forward will miss next week's match against Mainz through suspension.

Impact Uno still lacks match rhythm following his injury, so the club is considering having him gradually build that back up with the U23 side to ease his eventual return, per manager Polanski. He had already been ruled out of the recent match against Elversberg despite completing a full week of training, and his path back to the first team matchday squad will continue to be managed carefully.

Daiki Hashioka - Resumes individual field work Hashioka (neck) returned to individual work on the pitch Tuesday, completing fitness and passing exercises as he continues his recovery from the injury suffered against RB Leipzig,...

Impact Hashioka avoided a serious cervical spine injury following the heavy collision, but the resulting muscular reaction around his neck has continued to limit his progress. His return to field work is encouraging, though coach Eugen Polanski indicated that Hashioka still needs to gradually increase his workload before dealing with contact in full team training. Saturday's trip to Freiburg is therefore likely to come too soon, with Joe Scally expected to remain the primary option at right-back in his absence.

Nicolas Kuhn - Ruled out five to six weeks Kuhn will miss five to six weeks after suffering a muscle bundle tear during training following Borussia Monchengladbach's 3-4 loss to SV Elversberg, according to BILD.

Impact Kuhn picked up the injury during the final training session after the 3-4 loss to SV Elversberg, having only just made his Borussia Monchengladbach debut as a substitute for Franck Honorat. The 26-year-old is expected to be sidelined for five to six weeks, meaning his return will have to wait until he has worked through the recovery from the muscle injury.

Tim Kleindienst - Poor in front of goal Kleindienst registered five shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 4-3 defeat to SV 07 Elversberg.

Impact Kleindienst only put one of his five shots on the frame, and he created just one chance. In a high-scoring match, that type of inaccuracy can be detrimental. The forward has a good chance to score against Freiburg if he is more accurate, as the side did allow 57 goals in Bundesliga play a year ago.

SEPTEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Franck Honorat - Tallies two assists in start Honorat assisted twice to go with one shot (zero on goal), six crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 4-3 defeat against SV 07 Elversberg.

Impact Honorat did well in his return to the starting lineup, assisting on two of Monchengladbach's three goals. The midfielder has a good shot to assist against Freiburg, a team which has been solid defensively to start this year but did concede 57 goals in 2025-26.

SEPTEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Joe Scally - Scores in loss Scally scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 4-3 defeat against SV 07 Elversberg.

Impact Scally was able to put his lone shot in the back of the net on Saturday, though it ultimately wasn't enough for Monchengladbach. The defender will have a challenge looming against a Freiburg team which scored 51 goals in last year's campaign and is off to a good start this season with five goals in two matches.

Impact Bolin scored two of Monchengladbach's three goals, and he was the primary creator for the team in this match. The midfielder has a good matchup looming against Freiburg. Although the club has gotten off to a strong start in 2026-27, Freiburg did concede 57 goals in last season's campaign.

Moritz Nicolas - Serves up late winner Nicolas made six saves and allowed four goals in Saturday's 4-3 loss versus SV 07 Elversberg.

Impact Nicolas was solid for most of the match, keeping his side in the contest with six saves. However, he did let in a late winner which ultimately undid most of his great work. He will likely face similar bombardment again when he faces Freiburg, a team which had 51 goals in Bundesliga a year ago and is at the top of the league table to start this season.

SEPTEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Zento Uno - Remains out Saturday Uno (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Elversberg.

Impact Uno completed a full week of team training after coach Eugen Polanski had urged caution due to the muscle injury, but has been unable to earn a place in the matchday squad despite the progress made since his absence from the Bundesliga opener against RB Leipzig. Coach Polanski made clear the club still needed to be careful with his workload, and ultimately decided against rushing him into competitive action despite the encouraging training week. His availability for the coming fixtures will be monitored closely as the club continues to manage his return carefully.

Yukhym Konoplya - Progressing with individual work Konoplya (knee) has recently been able to do a lot of individual work again, according to coach Eugen Polanski. "Yukhym has recently been able to do a lot of individual work again....

Impact Konoplya has returned to individual work on the pitch around five weeks after suffering a right MCL injury, completing ball drills, passing, shooting and sprints, though he has yet to resume full team training. His recovery has been progressing quicker than might normally be expected, and he could rejoin team training before the next international break, though his competitive return will still depend on how his knee responds to the increased workload.

Zento Uno - Could be an option Uno (undisclosed) could be an option for Saturday's clash against Elversberg after training fully this week, according to coach Eugen Polanski. "Zento has rejoined the team for tra...

Impact Uno had already been considered too early for the Bundesliga opener against RB Leipzig, with manager Polanski saying last week he was training again but not yet fully up to speed. This full week of training now marks further progress, positioning him closer to a potential return to the matchday squad.

Daiki Hashioka - Escapes serious injury Hashioka (neck) has thankfully escaped a serious injury, though head injuries remain a serious concern and he is not yet fit to train or play in Saturday's clash against Elversberg...

Impact Hashioka was stretchered off during the recent loss to RB Leipzig after a collision with Antonio Nusa, requiring lengthy treatment and undergoing X-rays, an MRI and a CT scan while a potential cervical spine injury was investigated. This update is a significant relief given the concerning nature of the incident, and his continued recovery will be monitored as he works toward a return in the coming weeks.

SEPTEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Fabio Chiarodia - Option against Elversberg Chiarodia (thigh) trained fully this week and is an option for Saturday's clash against Elversberg, according to coach Eugen Polanski.

Impact Chiarodia had missed the Bundesliga opener against RB Leipzig after not being fully up to speed following his return to training, but this update now positions him as a possible option for this match. His continued progress will be worth monitoring as Gladbach manages his reintegration.

SEPTEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Enzo Leopold - Confirmed torn ACL Leopold has suffered a torn ACL in his right knee, confirmed by an MRI, and will be unavailable for Gladbach in the coming months, according to the club. Sporting director Rouven S...

Impact Leopold joined Gladbach on a free transfer from Hannover 96 just last summer, having made 124 competitive appearances there with eight goals and 17 assists while serving as club captain during his final season. This confirmed diagnosis now deals a significant blow to the newcomer just as he was set to make his step up into the Bundesliga.
