Gladbach Faces Goalkeeper Crisis After Omlin Injury

Borussia Mönchengladbach may rely on 18-year-old Tiago Pereira Cardoso as injuries sideline both first-choice and backup goalkeepers.

  • Jonas Omlin, Borussia Mönchengladbach's backup goalkeeper, was substituted during a 4-2 win against Werder Bremen due to a suspected muscular injury.
  • The injury follows the season-ending loss of first-choice goalkeeper Moritz Nicholas, leaving the team with limited options in goal.
  • 18-year-old Tiago Pereira Cardoso, who debuted in the Bundesliga two weeks ago, stepped in during the match and may start against RB Leipzig after the international break.
  • Cardoso, currently part of Gladbach's U19 team, is also set to join the Luxembourg national team for international duty despite his club's goalkeeper shortage.
  • Head coach Gerardo Seoane and sporting director Roland Virkus expressed concerns about the team's goalkeeper situation, highlighting the challenges of maintaining depth in the squad.
