Borussia Mönchengladbach reshapes squad after Castrop injury, Polanski outlines changes

Midfielder Jens Castrop (23) suffered a shoulder injury that will keep him out for at least a month, causing him to miss Borussia Mönchengladbach's season opener and early cup matches. Coach Eugen Polanski must adjust the team's midfield setup, considering options such as Enzo Leopold, Zento Uno, Kevin Stöger, or promoting youth players like Matthieu Nguefack, Fritz Fleck and Edin Biber.

During a training camp at Tegernsee, Polanski discussed broader squad changes, emphasizing the need for honest conversations with players, including Florian Neuhaus. He also announced staff additions, bringing in Jan‑Moritz Lichte from Mainz 05 and appointing Markus Gellhaus to the coaching team, while Tony Jantschke returns to the youth academy.
