GladbachAvailable for cup opener
Mohya is back with Gladbach after completing the full training program with his teammates in recent sessions, according to the Rheinische Post.
Analysis: Mohya had been sidelined by a blow to his thigh suffered in the friendly against SSVg Velbert, forcing him off just minutes after coming on as a substitute, and the issue kept him out of the final tune up against Aston Villa as well. His recovery is now complete, putting him back in coach Eugen Polanski's plans in time for Sunday's German Cup first round match at TSV Schott Mainz. Mohya is expected to be available for selection for that match after clearing this final hurdle.
Season opener not at risk
Mohya's competitive season opener is not in doubt despite lingering discomfort from a thigh knock, according to Bild.
Analysis: Mohya was substituted just minutes after coming on at halftime of an 8-0 win over Velbert following a collision with an opponent, an issue coach Eugen Polanski had already described as a classic bruise rather than anything more serious. He still feels some pain, leaving his availability for Saturday's final preseason test against Aston Villa in question, though no extended absence is expected. Mohya finished his debut Bundesliga season with 15 appearances, including six starts, contributing three goal involvements, 11 shots and four chances created. He is expected to be available for Gladbach's DFB Pokal opener at TSV Schott Mainz on Aug. 23.
Forced off with thigh knock
Mohya was forced off after five minutes in Wednesday's 8-0 friendly win over Velbert due to an apparent thigh problem, according to coach Eugen Polanski, per the RP. "We assume it was just a knock to the thigh, the muscle tightened up, a classic dead leg."
Analysis: Mohya finished his debut Bundesliga season with 15 appearances, including six starts, contributing three goal involvements, 11 shots and four chances created. His early withdrawal in this preseason friendly is a minor scare to monitor, though manager Polanski's initial read suggests it should not be a serious issue as Gladbach continues its preseason preparations.
Provides first Bundesliga assist
Mohya had an assist with his lone chance created while taking an off target shot during Saturday's 4-0 win over Hoffenheim.
Analysis: Mohya set up Hugo Bolin after 14 minutes assisting the opening goal of the match. The assist was the first in Mohya's Bundesliga career as the 17-year old ends his first league season making 15 appearances, six starts, with three goal involvements, 11 shots and four chances created.
