Christoph Kramer - Nearing return Kramer (knee) isn't available for Sunday's trip to Darmstadt, according to manager Gerardo Seoane.

Impact Kramer isn't available Sunday as he continues to struggle with a knee injury. He is nearing a return and is expected to be active in team training before Saturday's clash with Leipzig. Kramer would be a major boon to return, especially with Manu Kone also set to return.

Kouadio Kone - Not yet available Kone (knee) is not ready for Sunday's trip to Darmstadt, according to manager Gerard Seoane.

Impact Kone is not available for Sunday's trip to Darmstadt and still needs to make some sort of full return to training to be in contention for a place to squad. The good news is the defensive midfielder is nearing his return from a serious knee injury that held him out all Summer. In the meantime Julian Weigl and Florian Neuhaus will continue in holding midfield.

Luca Netz - Available Sunday Netz (strain) is available to play during Sunday's clash with Darmstadt, according to manager Gerard Seoane.

Impact Netz trained throughout the week making him an option for Sunday's match. The full-back could get the start on the right side of the midfielder four or the left side of a back four. Either way Netz should have plenty of attacking upside if handed a start.

Luca Netz - Trains with team Netz (strain) returned to the training pitch on Tuesday, the team announced ahead of Sunday's clash with Darmstadt.

Impact Netz was included in team training on Tuesday after suffering a muscle strain. The 22-year-old only played one match this season before finding the injury report, missing the last two games due to his strain. However, he could already be available for the Darmstadt match, as Manager Gerardo Seoane stated that Netz is "feeling 100%" and is "confident that he can make his return to the team on Sunday."

Kouadio Kone - Still training individually Kone (knee) was still limited to individual training on Tuesday.

Impact Kone was spotted training once again on Tuesday, but his injury still seems to be lingering after only taking part in individual training. The 21-year-old has been nursing this injury since May and will hope to make his return soon. He most likely won't be available for his club's next match against Darmstadt but could feature against Leipzig.

Jonas Omlin - Set for months out Omlin will miss multiple months due to the shoulder surgery he underwent, Gladbach announced.

Impact Omlin is set for multiple months on the sideline. It's a major blow for Gladbach, Omlin is the clear top choice in net. Mortiz Nicolas is likely to remain the top option while Omlin is on the sideline recovering.

Christoph Kramer - Returns to team training Kramer (knee) returned to team training Monday, Gladbach announced.

Impact Kramer was pictured back in team training as he makes his way back from a long-term injury. The midfielder will hope to make a return for a Sept. 17 trip to Darmstadt after the international break.

Moritz Nicolas - Five saves on debut Nicolas registered five saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Bayern Munich.

Impact Nicolas was thrown straight into the fire with his first Gladbach start coming against Munich. The goalkeeper will only see matches when Jonas Omlin (shoulder) is on the sideline, which should give him at least a month in the starting XI. Nicolas generally looked good Saturday and could be a serviceable backup.

Joe Scally - Forced off injured Scally was injured and subbed out in the 83rd minute of Saturday's 2-1 loss against Bayern Munich. He generated three tackles (three won), two clearances and one interception befor...

Impact Scally was forced off late during Saturday's loss due to an undisclosed issue. The injury didn't appear to be overly serious and Scally has two weeks to recover over the international break. If Scally is unable to get fit it would be the talented Luca Netz who takes a consistent role in the starting XI moving forward.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Alassane Plea - Five crosses in loss Plea recorded five crosses (three accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-1 defeat versus Bayern Munich.

Impact Plea peppered the box with five crosses but is still looking for his first goal contribution. The forward has perhaps seen the biggest downturn following the departure of Marcus Thuram. Tomas Cvancara has been far from bad, but Plea simply hasn't shown as much link-up play as he did with Thuram.

Maximilian Wober - Assists before injury Wober was injured and subbed out in the 73rd minute of Saturday's 2-1 loss to Bayern Munich. He assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one...

Impact Wober provided an assist before coming off with an undisclosed issue. The defender will have two weeks to recover during the international break, giving him a good chance to return before a Sept. 17 trip to Darmstadt. Wober isn't much of an offensive threat with a single chance created in three matches.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ko Itakura - Nets in loss Itakura scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Bayern Munich.

Impact Itakura opened the scoring with a rare goal during Saturday's narrow loss. The center-back isn't a major goal-scoring threat for the most part but he can make the most of the corners Gladbach continually earn. Itakura has scored twice before the international break in just three months, though that goal scoring certainly isn't worth chasing.

Luca Netz - Doesn't train Thursday Netz (strain) didn't train Thursday ahead of Saturday's clash with Munich, Rheinische Post reports.

Impact Netz wasn't able to return for Saturday's clash with Munich as he still hasn't gotten back on the pitch. The left-back is expected to make a full return to training during the international break with eyes on a return for a Sept. 17 trip to Darmstadt.

AUGUST 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jordan Siebatcheu - Loaned to Borussia Pefork will spend the rest of the 2023/24 campaign on loan to Borussia Monchengladbach from Union Berlin.

Impact Pefork made his Bundesliga debut with Union Berlin last season, scoring four goals with three assists in 31 appearances. He also made four starts in eight appearances during the Europa League. The forward will now head to Borussia for the rest of the season to complete for playing time with Tomas Cvancara.

Jonas Omlin - Undergoes shoulder surgery Omlin underwent shoulder surgery and will be out long-term, Bild reports.

Impact Omlin is set for a long period on the sideline after suffering a shoulder injury. It's the worst case scenario for Omlin, who ended 2022-23 on the sideline. There's a plethora of options to start in net for Saturday's clash with Munich, though Moritz Nicolas is likely to get the nod.

AUGUST 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Luca Netz - Doubtful against Bayern Netz (strain) is a doubt for Saturday's clash with Bayern Munich, Rheinische Post reports.

Impact Netz is a heavy doubt after missing Saturday's 3-0 loss to Leverkusen. The defender is likely to be on the sideline until after the international break, with Joe Scally a likely start on the left flank against the Bavarians.

AUGUST 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Christoph Kramer - Training with ball Kramer (knee) trained with the ball Tuesday, Rheinische Post reports.

Impact Kramer began training with the ball Tuesday as he continues to come back from a knee ligament injury. The midfielder will likely be in line for a potentially significant role, though it's possible he sees playing time off the bench more than in the starting XI after the international break.

AUGUST 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Kouadio Kone - Training individually Kone (knee) took part in individual training Tuesday, Rheinische Post reports.

Impact Kone returned to individual training Tuesday, running outside with the ball. It's a good sign for his recovery though he still isn't expected to make any significant return before September. When fit Kone will be a consistent part of the starting XI in holding midfield.

AUGUST 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Alassane Plea - Sends in three crosses Plea took an off target shot, crossed three times (one accurate) and created a chance during Saturday's 3-0 loss to Leverkusen.

Impact Plea was held off the scoresheet, but wasn't alone as Gladbach were shutout on Saturday. The attacker continues to play out wide despite the departure of Marcus Thuram, which may cap Plea's goal upside this season.

AUGUST 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Franck Honorat - Creates six chances Honorat took one shot (on goal), crossed seven times (one accurate) and created six chances during Saturday's 3-0 loss to Leverkusen.

Impact Honorat was held off the scoresheet, but was the main creator for Gladbach on Saturday leading the club in both crosses and chances created. The wide man has one assist, 17 crosses and eight chances created through the opening two matches of the season.

AUGUST 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jonas Omlin - Allows three more goals Omlin allowed three goals while making eight saves during Saturday's 3-0 loss to Leverkusen.

Impact Omlin conceded two goals in the first half and one in the second as Gladbach dropped all three points on Saturday. The keeper has allowed seven goals through the opening two matches of the season while his eight saves upped his season total to 11.

AUGUST 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jonas Omlin - Concedes four times Saturday Omlin recorded three saves and allowed four goals in Saturday's 4-4 draw against FC Augsburg.

Impact It's hard to see any positives in Omlin's performance but to be fair, he wasn't the one to blame for any of the goals he conceded -- a rocket from Elvis Rexhbecaj, a close-range finish from Maximilian Bauer, a penalty from Sven Michel and a finish from Ruben Vargas. While there's an argument to say he could've done more in the fourth goal, Omlin's place in the XI shouldn't be at risk ahead of Saturday's meeting against Bayer Leverkusen.
