Patrick Herrmann to retire from playing in the summer
Patrick Herrmann will retire from playing in the summer after 16 years at Borussia, including 15 as a member of the first team. The 33-year-old will remain at Gladbach in a non-playing capacity.
The Foals will be without Breel Embolo until further notice after the 24-year-old sustained a muscle injury during Switzerland’s EURO quarterfinal against Spain.
Borussia started pre-season training last Saturday, but new head coach Adi Hütter will have to wait for the Switzerland internationals to return after only recently ending their EURO 2020 campaign. One of those players is Breel Embolo, who injured his left hamstring in their quarterfinal defeat to Spain. How long the forward will be out for remains to be seen.
