Borussia resumed training on Tuesday, and after analysing footage of the weekend's action the focus turned to Saturday's game against VfL Wolfsburg.

The deserved defeat at Borussia Dortmund is annoying and disappointing. But after the successful run of recent weeks there was always a fear that a setback might occur.

Gladbach were already a goal down to Borussia Dortmund by half-time. And after the interval Mohamed Zidan settled the game in favour of the home side.

The reverse fixture, said head coach Michael Frontzeck at Thursday's press conference ahead of the trip to Borussia Dortmund, had been something of a turning point for both teams during the first half of the season.

With several players away on international duty or with Borussia's under-23 side, Michael Frontzeck welcomed a depleted squad to Tuesday morning's training session.

Got the performance but not the result - that was the mood in the Borussia camp after the 1-1 draw against SC Freiburg. In other news Marco Reus has pulled out of the Germany' under-21 squad due to injury.

A Roel Brouwers equaliser twenty minutes from time salvaged a point for Borussia at home to SC Freiburg on Saturday afternoon, with VfL ultimately forced to settle for a 1-1 draw.

Next up for Borussia (11th place with 29 points) are SC Freiburg (15th place with 19 points. But at today's press conference Michael Frontzeck issued the following warning: "We can't afford to give an inch."

Only a smattering of Borussia fans came out to the BORUSSIA PARK this morning to watch the training session for the players who did not play or were only used as substitutes yesterday.

Borussia took a two-goal lead in Sinsheim thanks to a Filip Daems penalty and a Roberto Colautti strike but had to settle for a point in the end.

Some 3,500 fans will accompany Borussia to Sinsheim on Friday evening for the clash with 1899 Hoffenheim. And at today's press conference head coach Michael Frontzeck warned them that Hoffenheim would provide tough opposition.

The 2-1 win over Nürnberg on Friday means Borussia can sit back over the weekend and see how their rivals get on.

Goals from Roberto Colautti and Rob Friend saw Borussia to a richly deserved 2-1 win against Nürnberg on Friday evening.

At today's press conference Borussia coach Michael Frontzeck made no secret of who would replace Thorben Marx and Tobias Levels for the Bundesliga visit of FC Nürnberg.

There are often many different ways of looking at a game of football, and this, after all, is much of its appeal. The protagonists involved in yesterday's defeat in Mainz, however, were united in their post-match assessment.

Borussia were beaten by a 44th minute goal in Mainz despite having the better of the chances and much more of the play, especially in the first half.

Borussia coach Michael Frontzeck will be without Karim Matmour for the difficult trip to Mainz on Sunday.

With the away game in Mainz not until Sunday (1530 CET), Borussia have a day longer than usual to prepare for their next fixture.

Twenty-four hours after the 4-3 win over Werder Bremen the Borussia dressing room was empty except for the club doctor, the physiotherapist and the player who bagged two goals.

A magnificent first-half performance and an outstanding Raul Bobadilla saw Borussia to a 4-3 win over Werder Bremen on Saturday afternoon.

"We have a lot of respect for Werder Bremen", said Michael Frontzeck at today's press conference ahead of Saturday's BORUSSIA PARK clash (1530 CET).

A point away to the side that finished fourth last season, another clean sheet and a game Borussia dominated in phases – there were some positive aspects yesterday.

Borussia played out a goalless draw away to Hertha BSC Berlin after Juan Arango missed an opportunity to claim all three points from the penalty spot just before the interval.

Michael Frontzeck will not decide whether his 100th game as a Bundesliga coach is a reason to celebrate until after Saturday's away game against Hertha BSC Berlin.

Borussia Mönchengladbach are to participate in the aid effort for the victims of the earthquake in Haiti by making a donation.

Preparations for Saturday's away clash with Hertha BSC Berlin began at the BORUSSIA PARK today. And it looks as if the club's injury problems are easing somewhat.

The start of the second half of the season was a flop, that much is certain. The start into the future, however, was a success, at least for Patrick Herrmann and Fabian Bäcker.

A vast improvement in the second half was not enough to prevent Borussia slipping to a 2-1 home defeat against Bochum on Saturday afternoon. Fabian Bäcker got the goal for Michael Frontzeck's men.

Roberto Colautti is likely to miss the match against Bochum, Borussia coach Michael Frontzeck announced at today's press conference.

Borussia will be without striker Rob Friend for the first two matches after the winter break. The Canadian suffered a cut heel during the Winter Cup in Düsseldorf.
