Robin Hack - Ends year with first goal Hack scored a goal with his lone shot during Saturday's 4-0 win over Hoffenheim.

Impact Hack entered the match in the 67th minute and scored Gladbach's final goal in the 91st. It was the first goal of an injury plagued campaign for Hack as he started the year with three straight starts before making just five more Bundesliga appearances due to knee injuries.

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. The striker had put together an impressive campaign on loan at Borussia Monchengladbach, finishing with 13 goals and two assists across 32 Bundesliga appearances before the ankle issue cut his farewell appearance short. 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.

Tim Kleindienst - Returns for season finale Kleindienst (knee) has returned to team training and is set to come off the bench in Saturday's final Bundesliga fixture against Hoffenheim, his first appearance since late Novembe...

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.

Haris Tabakovic - Available Saturday Tabakovic (undisclosed) has returned to normal training Wednesday and is available for Saturday's final Bundesliga fixture against Hoffenheim, according to coach Eugen Polanski. "T...

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.

Rocco Reitz - Provides assist in defeat Reitz assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-1 defeat against Augsburg.

Impact Reitz made a backwards pass that created the chance for Giovanni Reyna's goal in stoppage time Saturday. 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.

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. However, he failed to extend a run of two clean sheets and conceded his most goals in the last six matches. Up next is the Bundesliga season finale at home versus Hoffenheim, who produced 10 goals over their previous five clashes.

Nico Elvedi - Ends suspension Elvedi is no longer banned and is an option for play again.

Impact Elvedi served his one-match ban due to yellow card accumulation, as the defender is an option for the final match of the season. He is a key defender for the team and should immediately return to the starting XI as his club wraps up the season.

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.

Franck Honorat - Plenty of service Honorat registered nine crosses (four accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Borussia Dortmund.

Impact Honorat was unlikely to not get an assist given his excellent service volume and accuracy on Sunday. If he maintains this production against Augsburg, he should be able to have more to show for it. Augsburg has allowed 56 goals in 32 domestic games.

Rocco Reitz - Logs assist Reitz assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal) and three chances created in Sunday's 1-0 win over Borussia Dortmund.

Haris Tabakovic - Nets winning goal Tabakovic scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 1-0 victory versus Borussia Dortmund. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 91st minute.

Impact Tabakovic was active in front of goal and eventually his efforts paid off with a late goal to give Gladbach all three points in this contest. The forward should have a favorable matchup against Augsburg, a team which has conceded 56 goals in 32 Bundesliga games.

Moritz Nicolas - Keeps clean sheet Nicolas had one save and allowed zero goals in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Borussia Dortmund.

Impact Nicolas didn't face much firepower from Dortmund's attack in this game and Mochengladbach was able to find a winner late. The goalkeeper should be more busy against Augsburg, a team which has scored 42 goals in Bundesliga play this season.

Impact Kleindienst has been working on his return for a few weeks now and is nearing a return to play, as he has taken his first steps in team training again. However, with the forward limited, a return is still likely to take another week or two, needing to ramp up his training. He is still eyeing a return to play in the season finale, trying to end on a positive note after an injury has left him out since December.

Kevin Diks - Trains Wednesday Diks (undisclosed) was in team training Wednesday, according to Thomas Grulke of Rheinische Post.

Impact Diks looks to be ready to end his time out with an injury, as the defender has returned to team training. After only a match out, this is very positive news for the club and the defender. A return Sunday against Dortmund seems to be on the horizon, gaining back a center-back who has recorded 26 starts in 27 appearances.

Jens Castrop - Suspended three games Castrop is done for the season after his red card has been increased to a three-match suspension, according to Rune Gjerulff of Bullinews.

Impact Castrop is seeing the end of his season prematurely, as after a red card in their last outing, the foul being revisited by the DFB, he has had his suspension increased to three games. This is a rough way to end the season, as he is a starter on the left flank when fit, leaving Lukas Ullrich or Florian Neuhaus to start in his place. Castrop ends the campaign with 20 starts in 26 appearances, notching three goals on 30 shots and one assist on 18 chances created.

Robin Hack - Plays 14 minutes in return Hack generated two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Wolfsburg. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 95th minute.

Impact Hack made his long awaited return to competitive action after the knee injury that wiped out most of his season and played 14 minutes. He had opened the season brilliantly with a brace in the cup and looked set for a bigger role in the team before the injury struck in the third league game, with multiple setbacks in recovery prolonging his absence further.

Moritz Nicolas - Four saves in clean sheet Nicolas registered four saves and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Wolfsburg.

Impact Nicolas was at his best with four saves including two from big chances, earning his 11th clean sheet of the campaign and bringing an end to a four game run of conceding. He will look to carry that form into Sunday's clash against Broussia Dortmund.
