The Borussia Mönchengladbach Post

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Gabriel Jäger damages knee ligaments — 75 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 75 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match21 May 2040

Borussia Mönchengladbach sink to position 17

15 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Squad21 May 2040

Giovanni Reyna in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Borussia Mönchengladbach this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad21 May 2040

Can Bozdogan falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Kimi Løkkevik signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Kimi Løkkevik commits to Borussia Mönchengladbach for another 1 years.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad22 Aug 2039

Tom Rothe breaks a bone — 32 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 32 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad22 Aug 2039

A knee injury of the worst kind for Jan Kühn

33 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Union Berlin lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Boardroom22 Aug 2039

Pressure builds in the Union Berlin boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Squad22 Aug 2039

Tempers go at Union Berlin

Ilyas Ansah was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Anders Bondhus has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Union Berlin they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Vincent Müller falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
