The 52-year-old can finish 13th in the table. Because of his corona infection and a laryngitis, Borussia said he would not be on the sidelines this Friday either. As in the 2-0 win against Hertha BSC last Saturday, Hütter will be replaced by assistant coach Christian Peintinger. The Gladbachers also have to do without central defender Nico Elvedi, who also received a positive PCR test result after a positive rapid corona test.
In addition to Elvedi, the injured offensive player Jonas Hofmann and defender Mamadou Doucouré are also absent from the Ruhr Stadium, where Borussia secured their place in the relegation class at their last appearance there in 2011. Captain Lars Stindl celebrated a short comeback after his inner ligament tear last weekend. “It’s still too early to play for 90 minutes,” said Peintinger about the 33-year-old.
