The goalkeeper situation in Mönchengladbach remains a special one in the 2024/25 season. For regular goalkeeper Moritz Nicolas, the season is probably over prematurely after a serious adductor injury and surgery. That's why former regular goalkeeper Jonas Omlin was given his chance to prove himself in the away game in Berlin (2:1) .
Last Saturday, the Swiss player was in Borussia's Bundesliga starting eleven for the first time. However, the joy didn't last long at the home game against FC Augsburg. The 31-year-old risked his neck with a pass from Nico Elvedi that was far too casual in the 28th minute - and was not rewarded for it. Augsburg's offensive player Fredrik Jensen was one step quicker and was therefore brought down by Omlin. Emergency brake, red.
On Monday, the DFB sports court announced Omlin's suspension. The Swiss player will be taken out of action for one game and will therefore miss the away game against 1. FC Heidenheim (Saturday, 3:30 p.m.).
Who is now the representative of the representative?After Nicolas's departure, Omlin was dying for his chance - and was correspondingly dejected after his sending off. Tobias Sippel made his unexpected comeback , but had to concede three goals in the ultimately clear 0:3 defeat against FC Augsburg and was only partially convincing.
It is still completely unclear whether Sippel will play the substitute's role in the upcoming Bundesliga match in Heidenheim. Head coach Gerardo Seoane has three younger alternatives to choose from: Maximilian Brüll , Maximilian Neutgens and Tiago Pereira Cardoso . U-19 keeper Pereira Cardoso was officially the third goalkeeper against Augsburg, but was not in the squad.
