U17s’ impressive run ends in the battle of the Borussias
BVB coach Marco Lehmann had a bad feeling in the days before the battle of the Borussias, as Mönchengladbach coach Mihai Enache was able to draw on his full squad for the first time this season, while BVB had to do without Dzonga (osteitis pubis) as well goalscorer Diego Ngmabia, who is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines. Mussa Kaba, who was so impressive in the 3-0 win against Cologne, had to take an extended break from training and initially took a seat on the bench. Joshua Burstedde, who had also been doubtful for some time before the game, moved into centre of the attack, with Nick Cherny shifting to the left. Justin Hoy operated in attacking midfield alongside Fritz Fleck.
