Gladbach injury misery: After Neuhaus and Itakura, Sippel is also out

Borussia Mönchengladbach is not exactly lucky at the moment. After that, substitute goalkeeper Tobias Sippel is also out. The 34-year-old suffered a shoulder injury in a private accident.

After Sippel was absent from training on Wednesday, coach Daniel Farke explained: “Tobi had an accident in his private life on his day off, he fell on his shoulder. We have to wait and see, we’re still in the process of clarifying everything. ” (Quoted via Picture)

According to Farke, a match against RB Leipzig on Saturday is currently unlikely. “It doesn’t look like he’ll be available to us at the weekend. The doctors are just clarifying how bad it is,” said the Gladbach coach. “He must have slipped in the apartment and fell on his shoulder. He was holding his offspring and was holding him. There are a few unfortunate actions that are affecting us at the moment.”

Jantschke back on the field

Florian Neuhaus and Ko Itakura will definitely be missing against Leipzig. Neuhaus suffered a partial rupture of the posterior cruciate ligament in the 0-0 draw in Freiburg. The midfielder will not be available for at least the next few weeks, even if surgery is unlikely to be necessary. Neuhaus’ exact downtime can only be predicted once the doctors have made a final decision on the treatment method.

Itakura has already decided that the partial tear of the medial ligament in his left knee will be treated conservatively, i.e. without surgery. The foals will also have to do without the Japanese for a long time.

On the other hand, there is good news for Tony Jantschke, who missed the Freiburg game due to an ankle problem. The defensive all-rounder was back on the training ground on Wednesday and was able to complete the entire session.
