Gladbach coach Daniel Farke had to do without Jonas Hofmann in the last Bundesliga game against Eintracht Frankfurt. The 30-year-old offensive player is suffering from a shoulder joint rupture. With a game against Union Berlin this Sunday, things don't look good either.

During the week there was a faint hope in Gladbach that Hofmann could make a lightning comeback this weekend. At the PK on Friday, however, Farke lowered expectations significantly: "Jonas has not yet completed any team training. He will not be able to be there 95 percent of the time either."

So if there were to be a squad nomination, Hofmann would at best be an option for the bank. Most likely it won't even be enough for that, which is why we have to reckon with players like Nathan Ngoumou on the right flank today.

In addition to Hannes Wolf (shoulder injury), Florian Neuhaus (running training after a partial cruciate ligament tear) and Ko Itakura (running training after a partial inner ligament tear in the knee), Yann Sommer (torn ankle ligaments), Stefan Lainer (COVID-19) and Manu Koné (suspended suspension) will certainly be against the iron ones are not available. Nico Elvedi, who had to take a short break during the week, will be there.
