Nathan Ngoumou Makes Comeback After 15 Months in Test Match for Borussia Mönchengladbach
Nathan Ngoumou, a 26-year-old offensive player for Borussia Mönchengladbach, made his long-awaited comeback on July 19, 2026, after a 15-month absence due to a torn Achilles tendon suffered in April 2025. He played the first 45 minutes in a 6-0 test match victory against Oberliga side Wuppertaler SV. Ngoumou had previously missed all competitive and friendly matches, including a planned comeback in May that was canceled due to renewed muscle problems. Coach Eugen Polanski praised his effort and noted the importance of regaining match fitness. Ngoumou, a Cameroon international, has a contract with Gladbach until 2027, but the club is reportedly open to a transfer for the top earner. The priority remains for Ngoumou to stay injury-free and continue playing, whether at Borussia or a new club.
