Gladbach missing six for Bundesliga clash
Borussia Mönchengladbach head into their Bundesliga fixture with a sizeable injury list, having confirmed that six players are unavailable for the match on 11 October.
The absentees
Jens Castrop is out with a shoulder injury, while Franck Honorat and Nicolas-Gerrit Kuhn are both dealing with muscle injuries. Enzo Leopold is sidelined with a knee issue, Ko Itakura is unavailable due to an ankle injury, and Tim Kleindienst is also listed as out through injury.
The scale of the list leaves Gladbach having to manage their squad options across several areas of the pitch for this round of fixtures.
With the Bundesliga season roughly eight matchdays in, the club will be looking to navigate this stretch without six squad members as they continue their campaign.
