Borussia Mönchengladbach was once again lucky in their misfortune: after Jonas Hofmann, Yann Sommer will not be absent for too long either.
Immediately after the final whistle of the cup game in Darmstadt, which Borussia lost 2-1, those responsible were very worried about Yann Sommer and Jonas Hofmann. The two top performers had injured themselves against the lilies, which is why even their participation in the World Cup was questioned.
On Wednesday, however, the cautious all-clear: First, the Fohlenelf announced that Hofmann had suffered a shoulder joint rupture. However, since this is without bony involvement, the offensive player will be fit in time for the World Cup. According to Bild, Hofmann will “only” be absent for about three weeks, which means that he could even play for Borussia this year.
According to the tabloid, Yann Sommer will also be at the World Cup. The ankle injury is therefore not as bad as initially feared. A long summer absence does not seem to be an issue. The Swiss will only be missing “in the coming games”. An official diagnosis of Borussia for the goalkeeper is not yet there.
