B. Monchengladbach vs Augsburg -Team News

Christoph Kramer, a Monchengladbach midfielder, is still in self-isolation after testing positive for COVID-19 last week, while Lars Stindl is out until March due to a knee injury.

Due to the absence of Kramer and Denis Zakaria, who joined Juventus on deadline day, Kouadio Kone will likely partner Florian Neuhaus in the middle of the field.

Marcus Thuram will be hoping to force his way into the starting XI ahead of either Jonas Hofmann or Breel Embolo, while Ramy Bensebaini and Stefan Lainer are expected to provide width as wing-backs after starting the last four league matches on the bench.

Tobias Strobl (ligament), Fredrik Jensen (muscle), and Ricardo Pepi (nose) are all sidelined for Augsburg due to injury.

Weinzierl may stick with the same starting lineup after a much-needed win last time out, with Hahn and Ruben Vargas providing support in the final third for forwards Gregoritsch and Florian Niederlechner.

Borussia Monchengladbach possible starting lineup:

Sommer; Ginter, Friedrich, Elvedi; Lainer, Neuhaus, Kone, Bensebaini; Hofmann, Plea; Embolo

Augsburg possible starting lineup:

Gikiewicz; Gumny, Gouweleeuw, Oxford, Iago; Maier, Dorsch; Hahn, Vargas; Niederlechner, Gregoritsch
