Borussia Mönchengladbach commence training without Neuhaus - His future remains unclear - Borussia Mönchengladbach begin training without Neuhaus, uncertainty looms over his future
Borussia Mönchengladbach's midfielder Florian Neuhaus' future with the club is shrouded in uncertainty, following a recent disciplinary suspension and a strained relationship with club management.
Neuhaus, one of the club's vice-captains and highest-paid players, earning four million euros, was fined around €100,000 and suspended from first-team training for four weeks due to a video that surfaced on social media, seemingly mocking the club’s sporting director, Roland Virkus.
Stefan Stegemann, the club’s CEO, labelled Neuhaus' behaviour and statements as "damaging to the club and unacceptable," stating that he had "deeply disappointed the people involved, which is not compatible with the values of the club." Since the suspension, Neuhaus will be training with the U23 squad rather than the senior team as the first team prepares for preseason training.
Reports suggest that the club and player may now seek to part ways this summer. Neuhaus has been linked to a return to Fortuna Düsseldorf or a move to Augsburg, allowing him to regain form after falling out of favour at Mönchengladbach.
Meanwhile, the club is preparing for the new season. The team's first training session of the summer is scheduled for July 18th, with the topic of Neuhaus' future currently on hold. Jens Castrop and Kevin Diks have joined Mönchengladbach as new signings, while Tim Kleindienst is still recovering from a meniscus operation and is expected to return in November. Nathan Ngoumou, who suffered an Achilles tendon rupture, is also still injured.
The team's first test match on the way to the training camp at Tegernsee is scheduled, and the training session will be against FC Erzgebirge Aue at 6:00 PM. The club remains tight-lipped about Neuhaus' future, with Virkus commenting, "Everything's been said."
As the preseason progresses, the fate of Florian Neuhaus at Borussia Mönchengladbach remains to be seen.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding Florian Neuhaus' future with Borussia Mönchengladbach, the club and the team are moving forward with their preparations for the new season. The European football scene, particularly football leagues, could potentially offer Neuhaus a fresh start if he leaves Mönchengladbach, perhaps joining Fortuna Düsseldorf or Augsburg.
