However, Eugen Polanski 's side were given a boost on Wednesday when captainKleindienstreturned to training for the first time after several months out injured. The 30-year-old striker took part in passing drills and small-sided games with the team before continuing his individual programme afterwards. “This week is all about gradually reintegrating Tim and helping him regain the feel for football," said Polanski. "After that, we’ll discuss the next steps together with the medical staff.” A return to action for the six-time Germany international would be a major boost for Gladbach, as Kleindienst struck 16 times in 31 league matches during his debut campaign with the Foals in 2024 25, following 12 in 33 for Heidenheim the previous season.
