In the cup hit against Bayern Munich, Marcus Thuram could revive Borussia Mönchengladbach's last weak attack.
The Frenchman is fit again after a torn ligament and a two-month break and could be available again for the game on Wednesday (8.45 p.m. / ARD and Sky).
"He's a topic for the game," said coach Adi Hütter, who is happy to have his massive striker back on the team.
Mönchengladbach - "Thuram has skills that hurt every opponent," said Borussia's coach.
Defense veteran Tony Jantschke, who suffered several facial fractures on Sunday and has already been operated on, will be absent after a violent training accident.
He will probably only be available again in the second half of the season, said the coach.
After the 0: 1 bankruptcy at Hertha BSC and the disappointing 1: 1 against VfB Stuttgart, Hütter expects his team to improve.
“We also played good games against Dortmund and Wolfsburg.
Bavaria is the ultimate, it has to be fought.
I hope that we will show a reaction, ”said Hütter, who scored 1-1 with his team against the record champions at the start of the season.
The Gladbachers are among the only two teams in the league that Bayern could not win this season.
