Back in team training
Swider (illness) was back in team training on Thursday and could be available for Sunday's clash against Leverkusen, according to the club.
ANALYSIS
Swider has been dealing with infectious mononucleosis that kept him out at the beginning of the season, but the midfielder was back in team training for the first time under new coach Eugen Polanski and could be an option for Sunday's clash against Leverkusen. That said, Swider hasn't played a single minute at the senior level so far and will likely hold a bench role at best for Gladbach even if fully fit.
