Hack (knee) is recovering well but will not be available for Saturday's game against FC Koln. according to his manager Eugen Polanski on press conference. "Robin Hack has been training largely with the team for the last few days. His knee holds, his muscles are stable, everything looks good. Nevertheless, we decided together that it makes little sense to include him in the squad on Saturday. It's not at 100 percent yet and we want to continue building it up during the international break.

Kleindienst signed a contract extension with Borussia Monchengladbach until 2029, the club announced. "From his very first year with us, Tim established himself as a leader and a key player for the team, and this season he became its captain. We are very pleased with his progress and performances. He is a true role model for his teammates on the pitch, and we look forward to having him back with us after his injury," said sporting director Rouven Schroder.
