Gladbach without Kühn for 'several weeks' due to injury

Borussia Mönchengladbach will be without newcomer Nicolas Kühn "for several weeks" after the winger suffered a tear to a thigh muscle in his left leg, the Bundesliga club said in a statement on Tuesday.

Kühn picked up the injury during the 4-3 Bundesliga defeat to debutants Elversberg on Saturday.

"It's a real blow for both Nicolas and us," said head of sports Rouven Schröder. "Now it's about supporting him as best as possible during his rehabilitation and working him back into team training step by step."

Kühn is already the fifth Gladbach player - and the fourth new signing - to be sidelined due to injury this early in the season. 

Jens Castrop (shoulder injury), Enzo Leopold (torn cruciate ligament), Daiki Hashioka (neck), and Juchym Konoplja (partially torn ligament in the knee) are also expected to be out for a while.

Gladbach are 17th in the table with two defeats in as many games so far this season.
