Bundesliga club Borussia Mönchengladbach is traveling to leaders Union Berlin with significant personnel worries.
In addition to the long-term injuries Florian Neuhaus, Ko Itakura and Hannes Wolf, goalkeeper Yann Sommer (ankle injury), Stefan Lainer (Corona) and Kouadio Manu Koné (suspension) will also be unavailable on Sunday (3:30 p.m.).
In addition, national player Jonas Hofmann (joint shoulder joint) will probably also be absent.
“95 percent of the time he’s not there,” said coach Daniel Farke. Hofmann started running again on Tuesday. There is only a “slight residual hope”.
Farke paid tribute to the opponent. “If you’re top of the table after eleven matchdays, then that’s not a phase. It’s deserved,” said the 45-year-old.
