Injury woes leave Gladbach short on attacking options ahead of Mainz trip

Injuries have left Borussia Mönchengladbach short on attacking options ahead of their Friday night Bundesliga clash with Mainz.

According to Bild, Franck Honorat (calf problems), Tim Kleindienst (surgery wound issues), Robin Hack (knee problems), and Florian Neuhaus (muscular problems) are all expected to miss the game.

The setback is particularly bitter for Kleindienst, as the Gladbach captain had only just returned from a lengthy spell on the sidelines.

Giovanni Reyna and Kevin Stöger are likely to compete for Neuhaus’ spot in attacking midfield, while Shuto Machino is expected to step in for Honorat alongside Haris Tabakovic up front.
