Substituted as precaution
Mohya scored one goal and assisted once before avoiding a serious injury after being forced off in the 71st minute of Borussia Monchengladbach's 3-2 Bundesliga victory over Stuttgart, confirming that he suffered only a minor leg contusion, according to Sky Germany. "Fortunately, it was just a dead leg. I've had that before, so we preferred to be cautious."
Analysis: Mohya has eased concerns about his fitness after leaving Saturday's victory against Stuttgart with an apparent injury. The 17-year-old attacking midfielder delivered an impressive performance, contributing one goal and one assist to help Monchengladbach secure their first Bundesliga victory of the season before being replaced in the 71st minute. Although his substitution initially raised concerns about a potential injury, Mohya subsequently clarified that he had suffered only a dead leg and that his withdrawal was precautionary. The youngster also reassured supporters that there was no reason to worry, suggesting the issue should not require an extended recovery period. His availability for the next fixture appears unlikely to be significantly affected, although the coaching staff may monitor his condition in the coming days.
Scores in home loss
Mohya scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 2-1 loss versus Hoffenheim.
Analysis: Mohya scored just after half-time to bring the match back to 1-1, but his side were unable to maintain this scoreline and lost out 2-1 to Hoffenheim. The 17-year-old made a return to the starting lineup, having been on the bench in the last three games, and played the full 90 minutes for the first time this season. The goal came from his only shot on target of the game.
Cleared after ankle issue
Mohya (ankle) has returned to the Germany U21 squad after missing the 4-0 win over Latvia, with coach Antonio Di Salvo confirming the youngster is training normally without pain, according to ran.
Analysis: Mohya suffered an ankle injury in training last week and missed Germany U21's 4-0 victory over Latvia while recovering from the issue. coach Antonio Di Salvo has now given the all-clear after confirming that the Borussia Monchengladbach youngster has trained normally and is no longer feeling pain, and Mohya has returned to the squad against Malta as a substitute.
Dealing with ankle injury
Mohya (ankle) missed Germany U21's 4-0 win over Latvia after suffering the injury when he rolled his ankle in training, according to Sport1.
Analysis: Mohya was forced to delay a potential Germany U21 debut due to the ankle issue, though the early indications are reassuring. U21 coach Antonio Di Salvo described the injury as not serious, with the midfielder set to be assessed on a day-to-day basis. His availability for Germany's remaining matches against Malta and Georgia remains uncertain.
Sees starting role diminish
Mohya started the first two Bundesliga matches of the season but has come off the bench in each of the last two.
Analysis: Mohya has seen his role decrease after opening the campaign in the starting XI, with his last two appearances coming as a substitute. He has created two chances and recorded three tackles across four Bundesliga appearances. The recent shift to the bench suggests he currently faces increased competition for a starting spot, though he remains regularly involved in the rotation.
Available 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.
