Gladbach Advances in DFB Cup Without New Arrival Machino - Gladbach progress in DFB Cup without recent addition Machino
Borussia Mönchengladbach, coached by Gerardo Seoane, is gearing up for their DFB-Pokal first-round match against Atlas Delmenhorst, scheduled for Sunday at 15:30 CET. The match will take place in Oldenburg and will be broadcast on Sky.
The team's goal for the match is clear: they aim to reach the second round and play a serious game. Seoane has analyzed the opponent and takes them seriously, understanding that no game should be underestimated, especially in a cup competition.
Injuries have affected the squad, with Tim Kleindienst, Nathan Ngoumou, Wael Mohya, and Kevin Diks ruled out for the match. Diks, who started in the previous cup game but was substituted at halftime due to a muscle issue, is among the injured. His replacement, Marvin Friedrich, is expected to start again in defense.
Julian Weigl, who replaced Sander in the midfield during the last cup game, is likely to retain his position. However, the return of Florian Neuhaus, who has recently rehabilitated, could add a new dimension to the team's midfield. Seoane has mentioned that the team is well-stocked in this area, implying that Neuhaus' inclusion could be considered.
The goalkeeping position has been a topic of discussion. Jonas Omlin was not chosen as the number one goalkeeper ahead of Moritz Nicolas. Despite this, Seoane believes that Omlin is a "role model" for the team and understands his dissatisfaction. Omlin's body language, according to Seoane, is positive, and he puts the team first.
The exact nature of the integration process for new signing Shuto Machino into team training has not been detailed. However, it is known that Machino is still in the process of integration, but progress has not been as desired. He remains unavailable for competitive action at this time.
Young players like Fabio Chiarodia are being integrated gradually due to injuries and absences in the squad. The team's focus remains on reaching the second round of the DFB-Pokal and putting up a strong performance against Atlas Delmenhorst.

Amidst the preparation for the DFB-Pokal match against Atlas Delmenhorst, Coach Seoane emphasizes the importance of safeguarding the health and safety of his players, echoing the concern shown by the Commission in their proposal for a directive on exposure to ionising radiation. Meanwhile, the team's football focus remains on reaching the second round by delivering a strong performance, such as in a serious game aimed for in every sports contest.
