Gladbach has been absent for several weeks due to a hack.
Borussia Mönchengladbach Forward Robin Hood Suffers Knee Pain
Robin Hood, a key player for Borussia Mönchengladbach, will be sidelined 'in the coming weeks' after tearing the inner meniscus in his right knee. The news comes as a blow to the struggling team, which has not won in ten games across two seasons.
Hood, who started in all four competitive games this season for Borussia Mönchengladbach, scored two of the team's three goals in the DFB-Pokal against Delmenhorst this season. His absence is likely to be felt more acutely in the upcoming clash with Bayer Leverkusen, scheduled for Sunday at 5:30 PM and to be broadcast on DAZN.
The new signing, Giovanni Reyna, could move to Hood's left wing position in the absence of the injured forward. Reyna joined Borussia Mönchengladbach from Borussia Dortmund and may be called upon to fill the void left by Hood's injury.
The club released a statement expressing their support for Hood during his recovery, but did not provide a specific timeline for his return. This is a significant blow for the team, as Hood was a crucial player in the previous season and had been a consistent starter this season as well.
The team's top scorer, Tim Kleindienst, has been out since May following a knee operation, and his absence, along with Hood's, will leave the team short on attacking options. The team will need to rely on other players to step up and fill the void left by Hood's injury.
Sports director Roland Virkus expressed his support for Hood, calling him a fighter. 'Robin is a fighter, and I know he will do everything in his power to recover as quickly as possible,' Virkus said. Hood is set to undergo surgery on his knee on Saturday.
The team will need to find a way to overcome this setback and secure a much-needed victory in the upcoming clash with Bayer Leverkusen. The team's fans will be hoping for a strong performance from the squad and a swift recovery for Robin Hood.
