Team Overview
Borussia Mönchengladbach is one of German football's traditional names, long associated with the nickname "Die Fohlen" (the Foals), a reference to the youthful, energetic football that defined the club's rise in the 1960s and 1970s. Based at Borussia-Park, the club has a reputation for attacking intent and for giving young players opportunities, and it carries a large, loyal following across the Bundesliga.
Historically, Gladbach ranks among the league's most decorated sides. The club won five Bundesliga titles between 1970 and 1977 and added UEFA Cup triumphs in 1975 and 1979, establishing itself as a major force in European football. In the decades since, it has typically sat in the upper-middle part of the table, with periodic returns to European competition.
The current Bundesliga campaign has started in difficult fashion. Under Alexander Blessin, Gladbach has lost all six matches played, a form line of LLLLLL, with a 0-3 record at home and a 0-3 record away. The goal difference of -12 reflects a defensive problem: 20 goals conceded, an average of more than three per match, with no clean sheets. The attack has produced 8 goals, about 1.

Injuries & Availability
Impact Analysis
Borussia Mönchengladbach have nine players confirmed unavailable, with none listed as doubtful, so there is no uncertainty about who is missing. The available information doesn't specify positions, so the clearest pattern is in the types of injury. Muscle problems are the most common, affecting N. Kuhn, T. Kleindienst, F. Fleck and F. Honorat. I. Lidberg's thigh injury adds to the physical strain on the squad. Knee injuries sideline E. Leopold and J. Leszczynski, while J. Castrop (shoulder) and K. Itakura (ankle) complete the list.
Having nine players out at once is a heavy burden for any squad. The group includes several names who may ordinarily feature in the matchday squad, though the data doesn't say how many starts or minutes each has played, so their exact importance can't be quantified here. For the same reason, it isn't possible to say which replacements are best placed to step in.
On squad depth, the absence of nine players will test the club's resources and likely reduce rotation options. Because no return timelines are available, the full extent of the disruption remains unclear. Squad balance will be a key point to watch as updates emerge.
Recent Form
Form Analysis
Borussia Mönchengladbach's form across the last five matches has been inconsistent, with one win, one draw and three defeats. The goal difference is level at nine scored and nine conceded, which suggests narrow margins rather than heavy defeats, though the results have still leaned toward losses.
The attack has been productive in bursts. Gladbach scored three goals in both the 3-4 home loss to FSV Mainz 05 and the 3-0 win at Sportfreunde Siegen, but managed just one goal in each of the other three matches, against Hoffenheim, Köln and St. Pauli. Those three matches produced a draw and two defeats, so single-goal outputs have not been enough.
Defensively, the side has been vulnerable
