Borussia Mönchengladbach's coach, Gerardo Seoane, is keeping fingers crossed for the return of Julian Weigl, Max Wöber, and Tomas Cvancara before the DFB Cup showdown against VfL Wolfsburg on Tuesday. However, Seoane cautioned that their returning status might not be decided until the very last minute, as they currently grapple with a multitude of injuries and illnesses.
The Fohlenelf's squad was without ten players during their recent 2-1 triumph over TSG Hoffenheim, with the trio of Weigl, Wöber, and Cvancara joining the list of the absent. Seoane remained optimistic about their chances of making it to the battle, expressing a glimmer of hope.
Gladbach's history with Wolfsburg in the cup is not particularly glowing. Back in 1995, the Wolves clobbered them 4-0 in the cup final. As several favorites have already toppled, dreams of a successful cup run may linger in the minds of fans and Seoane himself. Yet, the coach discouraged the idea, emphasizing the necessity of focus and dedication to the present struggle.
The looming DFB Cup encounter against their recent Bundesliga conquerors presents a daunting challenge for Seoane and his team, having lost to them just over three weeks ago.

Julian Weigl reportedly has been playing well, particularly alongside Florian Neuhaus in a double-six formation. Although there is no mention of him being injured, Max Wöber's availability remains unclear. Similarly, Tomas Cvancara is being considered as a back-up for Tim Kleindienst, who is grappling with a calf injury.
Considering the current body of information, neither of the three is expected to be excluded due to injury. However, Kleindienst's calf problem could influence the team's strategy and selection for the DFB Cup game against Wolfsburg.
