Misses training with cold Sommer is dealing with a cold that held him out of Thursday's training session ahead of Friday's match against Serbia, according to reporter Lucas Werder.

Makes four saves against Brazil Sommer made four saves and conceded one goal during Monday's 1-0 loss against Brazil,

Impact Sommer had luck by his side when an offside earlier on the play was called after he was beaten by Vinicius Junior just after the hour mark. The goalkeeper looked to be on verge of keeping a second consecutive clean sheet but then, in the 83rd minute, came Casemiro with a beautiful one-timed shot that was still slight deflected by a defender before finding the back of the net. Despite the late goal allowed, the goalkeeper is still one of the best of the tournament at the position so far and he's certainly one of Switzerland's biggest hopes for Friday's crucial clash against Serbia.

Forced off with rolled ankle Sommer was forced off in the first half of Tuesday's DFB Pokal clash with Darmstadt after falling awkwardly on his ankle.

Impact Sommer rolled his ankle while going to play a cross and was limping when he was brought off. This is an awful turn for Gladbach, and Sommer, who has been one of the top goalkeepers in Germany. Tobias Sippel came in to replace Sommer, and would get the starts in his place. The Gladbach defense has been inconsistent, though trending positively, giving Sippel some value in easier matches. Sommer will be a heavy doubt for Saturday's clash with Frankfurt.

Two saves for draw Sommer made two saves in Saturday's 2-2 draw against VfL Wolfsburg.

Impact Sommer made two saves during Saturday's draw as a run of poor form continues for the keeper. The goalkeeper opened the season in red-hot form facing absurd volume, highlighted by 19 saves in a one-all draw with Bayern Munich but has since slowed down in the three previous matches, conceding nine goals and making seven saves.

Four saves in rout Sommer made four saves and had one tackle (zero won) and one clearance in Saturday's 5-1 loss against Werder Bremen.

Impact Sommer faced nine shots from the newly-promoted Bremen side and wasn't able to do quite enough to shut them down. It was a horrific showing from the Gladbach defense and midfield and it was Sommer who took the brunt of the punishment. This type of blow up result has been coming for Sommer and Gladbach, after facing 34 shots in the last four matches and Sommer somehow holding that volume to just two goals conceded. Unless Gladbach can figure out their midfield and defensive woes this could be another very long season for Sommer, who will likely be forced into well over 100 saves yet again.
