Most recently, Borussia Mönchengladbach had to do without several important players. Now there are some signs of personal relaxation: Jonas Hofmann and Stefan Lainer are training with the team again.
In the past few weeks, Gladbach have had to do without several important regular players. The fact that Ko Itakura, Yann Sommer, Florian Neuhaus and also Jonas Hofmann and Stefan Lainer were missing at the same time definitely played a role in the recent mixed results.
It is all the more important that a little relief in terms of personnel is now indicated. On Wednesday evening, the club announced that Hofmann and Lainer could return to team training.
Lainer has played a fairly minor role under Daniel Farke, but his return will offer more flexibility and relaxation. Hofmann was a permanent regular player until his shoulder joint rupture. The coaching staff and the fans will be happy about this positive news.
“Today was a good session for Jonas to get back in because it wasn’t too challenging. He looked good and if he can fully participate in tomorrow’s final session, he will definitely be a topic for the squad again on Friday.” , explained Farke regarding the offensive player.
In the important game against VfB Stuttgart on Friday evening he could celebrate his comeback – although not directly from the starting XI. That would be “an important and good sign for us,” emphasized the head coach.
