Player to watch – Alassane Plea
Gladbach club icon Alassane Plea made welcome return to goal-scoring form before the international break when he snapped a seven-game dry spell with a hattrick against Werder Bremen.

Plea’s finishing could be key
With top scorer Tim Kleindienst suspended for Saturday’s game, Plea’s return to form has come at the perfect time for Die Fohlen and the 32-year-old will be asked to burden extra responsibility in the final third against RB Leipzig in his prolific teammate’s absence.
