Bitter news for Borussia Mönchengladbach: As the Bundesliga club announced on Monday afternoon, goalkeeper Moritz Nicolas will probably fail until the end of the season. The 27-year-old suffered an adductor injury on Saturday in the 2-1 win of the “Foal” against Union Berlin.
Nicolas had now been successfully operated on Monday, the club statement said. Gladbach’s managing director Sport Roland Virkus emphasized: “Moritz developed great and played an outstanding season. Of course, we are sorry for him that he is now stopped by an injury. Mo knows that the whole club is behind him and we are doing it Support where we can so that it comes back strengthened from this phase. “
Nicolas had only become number one in the Gladbach Tor during the season. Thanks to his strong performance, he had displaced Captain Jonas Omlin, who, after the violation of his competitor, should now move between his post again. The fight for the Borussia goal may have opened up. Gladbach is currently the table in the Bundesliga. The international ranks are in striking distance.
Meanwhile, the failure for Nicolas is not only at club level. Last week rumors made the round that the keeper was intensively observed by the DFB. This reported, for example, the “picture”.
Nicolas was therefore considered a candidate for the international matches of the German national team against Italy in March. But because of his injury, nothing will happen.
