Freiburg, meanwhile, have one win in eight league outings. They lost 3-2 to leaders Bayer Leverkusen last time around at home. It was their second loss on the trot, having lost 5-0 to West Ham United in the UEFA Europa League earlier that week.

Manu Kone is the only confirmed absentee for Monchengladbach after the midfielder suffered a muscle injury during France U23's friendly against the USA U23 side this week. Alassane Plea is back from an injury but is not likely to start.
Freiburg, meanwhile, suffered back-to-back losses before the international break, conceding eight goals and scoring twice. They have one win in six away games across competitions, not scoring thrice.
Head coach Christian Streich has a lengthy absentee list. Noah Weisshaupt, Philipp Lienhart and Matthias Ginter are sidelined, while Roland Sallai is doubtful.
