Spiesen-Elversberg (dpa) - National player Jonas Hofmann competes for Borussia Mönchengladbach in the DFB Cup at SV Elversberg.

The 28-year-old midfielder is returning to the Bundesliga team after having torn muscle bundles in his thigh.

He replaces the French Marcus Thuram, who is suspended after his spit attack in the game against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim.

The favorite with the regional league team from Saarland has to do without Tony Jantschke, who will become a father.

Coach Marco Rose made five changes compared to the 1: 2 defeat at the weekend, including Tobias Sippel in goal for regular goalkeeper Yann Sommer.
