Ko Itakura - Starts once more Itakura had one shot (zero on goal) as well as making four interceptions in Friday's 1-0 win against Hertha BSC Berlin.
Impact Itakura has been a nailed-on starter since joining Gladbach, starting and going the full 90 in all three matches to open the campaign.

Alassane Plea - Scores in win Plea scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate), and one chance created in Friday's 1-0 victory over Hertha BSC Berlin.
Impact Plea scored the only goal of the match during Friday's win. The striker has three goal contributions in the first three matches of the campaign and is starting out strong in 2022/23. Plea will hope to get back to his stellar 2021/22 where he put up 10 goals and six assists, something he should have the chance to do in a positive offensive environment with Gladbach once more.
