Trainer Thomas Rice had hoped for a relaxation of the personnel situation before the meeting with Borussia Mönchengladbach on Friday evening at Castroper Straße. But nothing becomes. Already at the game on Sunday in Frankfurt (1: 2) the VFL coach had to rebuild his defensive. He will also have to improvise against the foals.

Rice plans without Leitsch

Because of a yellow lock, Gamboa had paused in Frankfurt, so the national player Costa Ricas is missing because of Covid-19. Not the only failure in the Bochum rear team. Center Defense Maxim Leitsch, tested positively in the previous week, could not get in training yet. He plan without Leitsch, said Thomas rice on the edge of the training.

Because Danilo Soares will probably continue, rice will probably need to build a similar occupation as last in Frankfurt. The only fixed size in the four-chain is Armel Bella Kotkap, who last presented itself in very decent Constitution. The places next to him should take as in Frankfurt Herbert Bockhorn and Kostas Stafylidis as well as Erhan Masovic.

Also not there is then Danny Blum, who had to fit short-term due to muscular problems against Frankfurt and is not yet fit. In addition, the VFL also announced on Tuesday that Milos Pantovic and Robert Tesche have also been positively tested on Covid-19.

No ideal conditions for the climber So, against Borussia Mönchengladbach an important step in the fight to create the class blast.
