Mönchengladbach (dpa) - Football professional Alassane Plea is returning to the Borussia Mönchengladbach squad for the Bundesliga away game at Arminia Bielefeld on Saturday (3:30 p.m. / Sky).
«He trained yesterday and today.
Basically he has healed his injury.
We'll see if it's enough for 90 minutes, ”said Borussia coach Marco Rose on Thursday.
The 27-year-old French attacker was absent from the 2-1 home defeat against Hoffenheim shortly before Christmas due to a strain.
After the last four Bundesliga games without a win and slipping to eighth place, the Gladbach coach sees a need to catch up.
"Bielefeld is an important game for us because we can read the table and realize that we need points," said Rose.
However, the newcomer is an unpleasant opponent.
«They changed their style of play after a difficult start.
There's always a risk of slipping, ”warned Rose.
«It's good to play again quickly after a loss.
Nevertheless, it was important that everyone got their heads clear for five or six days over Christmas. "
Defender Ramy Bensebaini has been back in training since Wednesday after his protracted Covid 19 illness.
ÒÀÜWeòÀve got to bring Ramy up slowly with short stakes, òÀ Rose said.
But it is possible that the Algerian will at least be in the squad on Saturday.
In any case, Marcus Thuram will be missing after his spit attack in the game against Hoffenheim.
The French attacker has to serve a week-long red ban.
