Tim Kleindienst
30-Year-Old
Mönchengladbach
Bundesliga
OUT
Injury Knee
Est. Return 1/11/2026
Suffers knee reaction
Kleindienst suffered a knee reaction in the DFB Pokal game against St. Pauli and is ruled out for the time being, coach Eugen Polanski said in the press conference, according to Sport1. "He had a reaction in his knee, so he will be unavailable tomorrow evening. As I am not a doctor, and it happened very suddenly, and we were only informed yesterday, we naturally have to wait for the results of the tests to determine the nature of the problem and the length of the recovery."
ANALYSIS
Kleindienst suffered a setback from his knee injury after returning from a long spell on the sidelines and will now have to miss some time again to recover. The striker and captain will have to be assessed to know the exact timeline to return, but he is unlikely going to be risked before 2026. This will allow Haris Tabakovic to keep a larger role in the frontline of Gladbach until he comes back to full fitness.
