Following a heavy aerial collision during his Bundesliga debut against RB Leipzig, Japanese defender Daiki Hashioka was stretchered off the pitch. Medical examinations at Leipzig University Hospital confirmed he avoided serious cervical spine injury or neurological impairment. While he was discharged to return to Borussia Mönchengladbach, he was required to wear a neck brace as a precaution.

By early September, Hashioka had resumed individual training. However, manager Eugen Polanski noted that caution remains necessary due to muscle stiffness resulting from the impact. This injury occurs amidst broader challenges for the club, including two consecutive losses to start the season and internal disagreements regarding squad decisions and player capabilities.
