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.
Jonas Hofmann will be unavailable for the Foals for the final two league games of the calendar year to undergo knee surgery.
Jonas Hofmann cannot put off the need for knee surgery any longer, and so this procedure will take place on Tuesday. As a result, he is ruled out of Gladbach’s upcoming Bundesliga matches against Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday evening (18:30 CET) and against TSG Hoffenheim on Saturday (15:30 CET).
Hofmann has featured in 14 of the Foals’s 15 league matches so far in 2021/22, scoring 7 goals, the best return of any Borussia player this season. After picking up his fifth yellow card during the 4-1 defeat to RB Leipzig last Saturday, our captain Lars Stindl will also miss the game against Frankfurt on Wednesday due to suspension.
