Title: Koné's Return against Bremen for Gladbach: Injury-free Training Week
Borussia Mönchengladbach midfielder Manu Koné is set to make a comeback for the team's clash against Werder Bremen this coming Friday (20:30/DAZN). His recent muscular issues had sidelined him during last weekend's game against Union Berlin, but he has recovered impressively, participating in full training sessions throughout the week.
Coach Gerardo Seoane acknowledged the Frenchman's recovery, stating, "The game came a day or two too soon for him. But he has now trained normally all week."
As for Gladbach's striker Thomas Cvancara, his participation remains uncertain. Currently only able to participate to a limited extent in training, the Swiss manager has yet to finalize his decision about Cvancara's inclusion in the lineup.
Seoane is taking the recent fluctuations in Borussia Mönchengladbach's performance stride. He views them as an opportunity for improvement, highlighting that sustained consistency is a trait typically seen in top-tier teams.
In the aftermath of reaching the quarter-finals of the DFB Cup, the team subsequently lost against Union Berlin, who found themselves at the bottom of the table prior to the match. Despite the setback, Seoane remains optimistic about his team's potential to bounce back and recapture their form.
For Koné, his return to Borussia Mönchengladbach is highly anticipated, especially considering that Werder Bremen will be his opposing team. Koné, hailing from Bremen, will get a chance to contribute to his new side's success against his former club.
