Out with muscular issue
Lidberg (muscular) will miss Friday's Bundesliga clash against Stuttgart after sustaining a muscle injury during Sunday's 2-1 defeat against Hoffenheim, according to coach Alexander Blessin.
Analysis: Lidberg has been ruled out after experiencing muscular discomfort during Sunday's defeat against Hoffenheim, which forced him off in the 52nd minute. The Swedish striker had started Gladbach's previous three Bundesliga matches, making his absence another setback for an attack already missing Tim Kleindienst (thigh). The severity of Lidberg's injury remains unclear, with no definitive timeline established for his return to training. Robin Hack and Shuto Machino could provide alternative attacking options against Stuttgart while he remains sidelined.
Forced off with thigh discomfort
Lidberg (thigh) was forced off in the 52nd minute of Sunday's 2-1 defeat against Hoffenheim after experiencing physical discomfort, according to coach Alexander Blessin.
Analysis: Lidberg was unable to complete Sunday's encounter after appearing to experience discomfort in the back of his thigh shortly before being replaced. Coach Blessin explained that he had not initially planned to substitute the Swedish striker but was forced to make the change because of the player's physical condition. The coach praised Lidberg's performance in his physical battles with Hoffenheim defender Robin Hranac, particularly his involvement in the buildup to Gladbach's goal. However, Blessin did not specify the exact nature or severity of the injury, leaving the forward's availability for the upcoming Bundesliga clash against Stuttgart uncertain. Lidberg has started each of Gladbach's last three matches, making his fitness an important concern for the coaching staff, especially with Tim Kleindienst (thigh) also sidelined. Robin Hack and Shuto Machino could be considered as alternative attacking options if Lidberg is unable to recover in time.
