Nathan Ngoumou Omitted from Gladbach Squad, Signaling Imminent Departure
Borussia Mönchengladbach winger Nathan Ngoumou was left out of the matchday squad for the club's 2-1 pre-season friendly victory over third-division side Rot-Weiss Essen. Coach Eugen Polanski confirmed the 26-year-old was neither injured nor in transfer negotiations, but simply a victim of squad overcrowding, with some positions triple-occupied. Ngoumou, who has a contract until 2027, has received vague inquiries from Anderlecht and clubs in France and Poland, but no concrete offer. His exclusion from friendlies is problematic as interested clubs want to see current proof of his performance after a long injury layoff before committing to a transfer. The decision is seen as a clear sign that Ngoumou is no longer part of Gladbach's plans for the upcoming Bundesliga season.
