1st Bundesliga - Seoane praises young kicker Reitz: "He's good for us"
The long list of injured players at Bundesliga club Borussia Mönchengladbach is forcing coach Gerardo Seone to make personnel changes time and again. One constant in the team is shooting star Rocco Reitz, who has just been voted Borussia player of the month by the fans and has already played 15 competitive matches for the Gladbach side this season. "For the path we want to take, it's very important that players come up from our own stable and then they have to seize their chance," said Seoane on Friday ahead of the game at Union Berlin (Saturday, 3.30pm/Sky).
"He's doing us a lot of good at this stage with his willingness to run and his aggression," said the Borussia coach, who will once again rely on the 21-year-old defensive midfielder on Saturday. Especially as there could be further absentees in addition to the seven injured players. "There are question marks over Maximilian Wöber, Manu Kone, Tomas Cvancara and Robin Hack," explained Seoane. If both strikers are unavailable, Nathan Ngoumou will once again form the front line with Alassane Plea.
Gladbach have never won in Köpenick - although Union have now gone 16 competitive matches without a victory.

Rocco Reitz's consistent performance in the Bundesliga, despite Borussia Mönchengladbach's injury list, has earned him the Borussia player of the month title. Despite the long list of injured players, including Maximilian Wöber, Manu Kone, Tomas Cvancara, and Robin Hack, Rocco Reitz continues to be a reliable presence in Mönchengladbach's defensive midfield. This is crucial for Borussia Mönchengladbach, as they aim to foster talent from within their own ranks and provide opportunities for young players. The injury situation in the team may further worsen, which could put more pressure on the young midfielder. Regardless, Rocco Reitz's contributions to the team in the Bundesliga, based in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, have been significant.
