Gladbach Confirms Chiarodia Right-Thigh Tear, Defender Out for Several Weeks

The bottom-placed Bundesliga club disclosed the training-ground injury just before its cup tie, indicating a multi-week layoff.

Overview

  • Borussia Mönchengladbach announced the muscle-fiber tear in Fabio Chiarodia’s right thigh shortly before the DFB-Pokal match against Karlsruher SC.
  • The 20-year-old suffered the injury in training after recently returning from a left adductor problem.
  • Club guidance and media reports describe a multi-week absence, with WAZ suggesting he may not play again this calendar year.
  • Chiarodia featured in the first five Bundesliga matches of the season, though reports differ on whether he started three or four of them.
  • His unavailability further thins Gladbach’s defensive options as the team sits at the bottom of the Bundesliga table.
