Ramy Bensebaini - In doubt Sunday Bensebaini (undisclosed) is questionable against Arminia Bielefeld on Sunday after manager Adi Hutter told reporters, "Bensebaini has picked up a knock - it will be a close call fo...

Impact Bensebaini was in the starting XI for the club's previous contest after Stefan Lainer suffered a broken ankle and now Gladbach may be forced to find another left-back. Both Louis Jordan Beyer and Tony Jantschke could be options, though neither is an ideal fit for a wide role.

Marcus Thuram - Facing extended absence Thuram (knee) is expected to miss multiple weeks due to his knee injury. Manager Adi Hutter told reporters, "Thuram will be unavailable for a number of weeks. He is doing his recov...

Impact Thuram's absence comes as Breel Embolo (hamstring) prepares to return to the pitch, so there shouldn't be a significant drop-off in terms of attacking options, though Alassane Plea will continue to feature as the primary forward with Thuram sidelined.

Breel Embolo - Available against Bielefeld Embolo (hamstring) is in contention for Sunday's clash with Arminia Bielefeld after manager Adi Hutter told reporters, "Breel Embolo is an option again."

Impact Embolo has yet to get onto the pitch this season, so he may have to settle for an appearance off the bench before getting an opportunity to break into the starting XI. Still, without Marcus Thuram (knee), there will be extra minutes to go around for the likes of Patrick Herrmann and Embolo.

Alassane Plea - Good to go Sunday Plea is fit and in the starting XI for Sunday's match with Union Berlin.

Impact Plea is good to go after being a slight doubt due to a knee injury. The forward will lead the line for Gladbach in their Bundesliga clash with Union Berlin.

Breel Embolo - Out through international break Embolo (hamstring) will not be back prior to the upcoming international break, ruling him out versus Union Berlin on Sunday. Manager Adi Hutter told reporters, "Breel Embolo is bei...

Impact Embolo will miss his third straight contest due to the hamstring injury he suffered while playing for Switzerland at the 2020 Euros. Even once cleared to play, the forward is far from a lock for the starting XI, though the long-term injury to Marcus Thuram (knee) should create more opportunities for Embolo this year.

Alassane Plea - In contention versus Union Berlin Plea (knee) is available for Sunday's matchup with Union Berlin. Manager Adi Hutter told reporters, "Plea has done well in training this week. I'm glad that the injury he picked up...

Impact Plea has put together a strong start to the 2021-22 campaign, as he has registered one goal on one shot, one crosses (inaccurate) and three chances created in two contests. The forward was subbed off around the 60-minute mark in both matches, which is certainly a concern for fantasy players, and likely is a boom or bust target with a relatively low floor.

Matthias Ginter - Tests positive for COVID-19 Ginter tested positive for COVID-19 and will miss Sunday's trip to Union Berlin.

Impact Ginter was already forced off with dizziness in the prior match and this positive test will force him to miss Sunday's game before the international break. It's a wonder if he was dizzy because of COVID-19. In his absence, youngster Luca Netz could be used on the back line.

Impact Embolo has yet to play this season after picking up an injury at the Euros with Switzerland. He scored five times in 31 appearances (16 starts) last season and given some of the injury problems among the other forwards for the Foals, it shouldn't take long to see Embolo back in the lineup. Up next is Sunday's trip to Union Berlin.

Stefan Lainer - Out with broken ankle Lainer broke his ankle in the first half of Saturday's match and will miss an extended period of time.

Impact It's a brutal injury for Lainer, who started 31 league matches last season and played in every match for Austria in this summer's Euros. His absence is a blow to the Gladbach back line, as it looks like Joseph Scally is set for more time at full-back.

AUGUST 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Marcus Thuram - Suffers MCL tear Thuram suffered an MCL tear in Saturday's match and will miss an unknown amount of time.

Impact It's an unfortunate injury to open the season for Thuram, who will likely miss the next couple months. Gladbach have options in their attack, but it looks to be another season in which Thuram struggles with injuries and can't find form after scoring eight goals in 20 starts last campaign.
