Overview

• Nnamdi Collins is a doubt for Saturday’s trip to Mönchengladbach after adductor discomfort forced him out of training, with his availability hinging on the final session.
• Coach Dino Toppmöller said the issue is not structural and Collins will play only if he completes the pre-match workout without problems.
• Rasmus Kristensen remains sidelined with a muscle injury and is unavailable for both Gladbach and Tuesday’s Champions League match at Atlético Madrid, with a possible return targeted after Madrid.
• Mario Götze returns to the matchday squad but is not slated to start and could feature as a substitute.
• Ellyes Skhiri is expected to re-enter the starting XI to add stability, and if Collins cannot go the right side could be filled by Aurelio Buta, Elias Baum or Ansgar Knauff.
