Hopes of a lightning comeback have been dashed: Yann Sommer and (probably also) Jonas Hofmann will not be available for Borussia Mönchengladbach against Union Berlin (Sunday, 3:30 p.m.).
After her injuries from the DFB Cup game at SV Darmstadt, Daniel Farke had very little hopes this week. The recovery processes of the two top performers are progressing well.
On Friday, however, it turned out that the duo’s lightning return cannot be realized. Summer will definitely fail against the Iron, as Farke confirmed at the press conference. And Hofmann will most likely not be enough for Sunday either: “Jonas hasn’t completed any team training yet. He won’t be able to be there 95 percent of the time either.”
In addition to the duo, not only are the three long-term injured Ko Itakura, Flo Neuhaus and Hanes Wolf missing, but also Stefan Lainer (Corona), Manu Koné (suspended) and Torben Müsel (abdominal muscle strain). “There is still a small question mark behind the use of Nico Elvedi, who had to stop training yesterday,” added Farke, who spoke of the fact that the personnel conditions are currently “not ideal”.
“We have to make a late decision about the starting XI,” said the 45-year-old. “We currently have a difficult personnel situation, but we have to accept it.”
