Moritz Nicolas out, Daniel Batz back in goal for Gladbach
Nicolas misses Friday's trip to Hamburger SV with a muscle strain, and 35-year-old Daniel Batz takes over in goal again.
Moritz Nicolas, Borussia Mönchengladbach's first-choice goalkeeper, will miss Friday's 6 November trip to Hamburger SV with a muscle strain. Daniel Batz, 35, will take over again, as he did against Karlsruher SC and Paderborn. According to Sportschau, coach Alexander Blessin admitted he is running out of words after a run of injuries that also includes Nicolas Kühn, Hugo Bolin and captain Tim Kleindienst.
The club, bottom of the Bundesliga, will lean on young players Iaia Danfa, Mathieu Nguefack and Fritz Fleck. Sporting director Rouven Schröder praised Batz for his calm and experience, saying he is a real anchor for the team.
