  • Sporting director Roland Virkus said the club would only consider formal transfer offers for the 31-year-old if they meet sporting and contractual requirements, noting no bids have arrived.
  • Head coach Gerardo Seoane and Virkus praised Omlin’s professional attitude in training and his positive presence in the locker room following the demotion.
  • Gladbach retains veteran Tobias Sippel and 19-year-old Tiago Pereira Cardoso as additional options to safeguard the goalkeeping position against injuries.
