Gladbach keeper Yann Sommer is not quite fit after his ligament tear: but a World Cup participation is only slightly in danger.
misses his real number one, Yann Sommer, sorely. Substitute goalkeeper Tobias Sippel has not yet come close to the level of the injured goalkeeper. Two weeks before the start of the World Cup, there are of course concerns in Switzerland, although the Swiss still have Gregor Kobel as an option. Sommer himself, however, is confident.
On Friday, Yann Sommer was still sentenced to the break. However, there is still hope for missions before the end of the first half of the season. In an interview with the newspaper View Sommer explained that he was “much better”, but that one had to “look from day to day”. It may be enough for a return to Bochum on Tuesday. The veteran does not want to commit himself in this regard.
“I don’t know yet. Sometimes it’s the case that fluid collects in the ankle again after a certain amount of exertion, sometimes everything is fine. We have to see,” he asked for patience.
Sommer still has slight doubts: “Can never say how it will develop”
With regard to the World Cup, the keeper did not want to make any promises, but at least revealed a positive feeling. “I think it’s looking good, even if I’m cautious about forecasts and statements,” he explained. After all, you can “never say how it will develop”. However, the goalkeeper assumes “that it won’t be too long.”
At the DFB Cup match in Darmstadt, Sommer buckled while catching a high ball and was diagnosed with a torn ligament. Since then he has been working on his comeback. We hope that the Gladbach keeper can put the injury behind him before the start. He would have deserved this after his grandiose first half of the season.
