Lukas Ullrich will be sidelined for six to eight weeks after breaking his collarbone in Borussia Mönchengladbach’s away game against Hamburg. The 22-year-old left-back suffered the injury during the fixture and is now facing an extended period out of action.
The injury comes at a difficult time for Gladbach, who will miss Ullrich’s defensive presence in the coming weeks. The club confirmed that Ullrich will be unavailable for selection throughout this recovery period. This also means he will miss the upcoming international break with Germany’s U21 squad, ruling him out of those matches as well.
Gladbach’s defensive options are expected to be stretched as they cope without Ullrich. The club has yet to announce any immediate plans to replace him in the short term. His absence will likely force the manager to adjust the backline for the next rounds of fixtures.
Recovery from a broken collarbone typically involves immobilisation and rest, followed by rehabilitation to regain full strength and mobility. The six to eight-week estimate suggests Ullrich will be out until late December or early January, depending on how well his healing progresses.
Borussia Mönchengladbach have not provided further details on the exact nature of the injury or the treatment plan. The club’s medical staff will monitor Ullrich’s recovery closely to determine when he can safely return to training and match play.
Ullrich had been involved in Gladbach’s recent matches, contributing as a left-back in their defensive setup. His injury removes a young player with potential from the squad at a time when the Bundesliga season demands consistency.
The timing of the injury will also affect Germany’s U21 squad, who will be without Ullrich during the international break. The defender had been expected to feature in their upcoming fixtures, but now will miss out on that opportunity.
No replacement call-ups or squad changes have been announced by Germany’s U21 management following Ullrich’s withdrawal due to injury.
Borussia Mönchengladbach continue their Bundesliga campaign without Ullrich as they navigate the weeks ahead. The club will monitor his progress and provide updates as they become available.
