Assists twice Saturday
Ullrich had two assists from two chances created while taking two off target shots and crossing once inaccurately during Saturday's 4-3 loss to Mainz.
Analysis: Ullrich set up Florian Neuhaus in the 11th minute and Isac Lidberg in the 59th to assist two of Gladbach's three goals in the match. The assists were the first goal involvements this season for the fullback as he's combined for four shots, three chances created and five crosses over his first three league appearances.
Fit moving forward
Ullrich (head) is in the starting squad for Saturday's friendly against RW Essen, according to the club.
Analysis: Ullrich's return to the starting lineup confirms his recovery from the head injury that forced him off early against Wuppertaler SV, an incident that left him looking dazed but was later ruled out as a concussion. His involvement in this match follows a near full training session earlier in the week, and his availability now positions him to build toward a regular role heading into the new 2026/27 Bundesliga season.
Avoids concussion, back training
Ullrich (head) avoided a concussion and was able to complete large parts of the training again on Tuesday, according to Bild.
Analysis: Ullrich took a blow to the head and looked dazed before being withdrawn early against Wuppertaler SV, but the situation resolved quickly as he trained through nearly the full session Tuesday, missing only the closing match, and head coach Eugen Polanski has ruled out a concussion. He's on track for a full return to training in the near term.
Forced off with head injury
Ullrich (head) was forced off after five minutes of Saturday's preseason friendly against Wuppertaler SV following a collision during an aerial duel.
Analysis: Ullrich went down in pain after the challenge and appeared visibly dazed when he attempted to get back up, initially trying to continue before struggling to stay on his feet and going back down shortly after. The nature of the collision raises some concern given the visible disorientation, and further details on the extent of the injury should emerge in the coming days as Gladbach continues its preseason preparations ahead of the 2026/27 Bundesliga season.
