Ko Itakura is missing from Gladbach for a longer period of time: ankle surgery required

Ongoing problems

Gladbach’s regular defender Ko Itakura will be absent from Borussia for several weeks. The Japanese recently had to miss the derby against 1. FC Köln (1:3) due to an ankle injury. Now the “foals” announced that the 26-year-old had to go under the knife.

Persistent problems require surgery. As the club puts it, it was a minor operation on the ankle joint. Itakura will be absent for “a few weeks”. He was always in the starting line-up on the first seven matchdays. In addition to collecting four yellow cards (current highest in the league), the national player has also scored two goals (shared best among central defenders).
