Gladbach stars edging closer to return | OneFootball

After months on the sidelines with a meniscus injury, Borussia Mönchengladbach captain Tim Kleindienst could soon be back in action.

Interim coach Eugen Polanski provided an update on the striker during his pre-match press conference ahead of Tuesday’s DFB-Pokal clash with Karlsruher SC.

“He was just in my office – sweaty, wet  and with a huge smile on his face. Things are definitely moving in the right direction. He’s making a good impression,” said Polanski.

Winger Robin Hack, who is also sidelined with a meniscus injury, is making good progress as well.

“We’re hoping that at some point we’ll receive the joyful news that both are back. Let’s just take it day by day,” Polanski added.

The duo’s recovery progress is a welcome boost for Gladbach, who currently sit bottom of the Bundesliga table with just three points from eight games.
