Official: Enzo Leopold Suffers Right ACL Tear in Training, Will Be Sidelined for Months

On September 3, Borussia Mönchengladbach officially announced that midfielder Enzo Leopold suffered a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during training the previous day local time. The injury was confirmed after an MRI examination.

This means that the 26-year-old Enzo Leopold will be unable to represent Borussia Mönchengladbach for the coming months.

Mönchengladbach sporting director Rouven Schröder said: "Unfortunately, the examination results confirmed the situation we feared most. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow for the team, but for Enzo Leopold himself, it is an even greater setback. For a player who has just joined a new club, this may be the most unfortunate start possible."

"However, we will always stand by his side. After he undergoes surgery, we will do everything we can to assist him with rehabilitation training, make the best preparations for his return, and provide him with the greatest possible support. We hope he can complete his comeback as soon as possible and make his first Bundesliga appearance."

According to Borussia Mönchengladbach, Enzo Leopold will enter the rehabilitation phase after undergoing surgery. As an anterior cruciate ligament tear usually requires a lengthy recovery period, he is expected to miss the team's matches for the coming months.

It is worth noting that this is a major injury suffered by Enzo Leopold since joining Borussia Mönchengladbach. For the midfielder, he was preparing to begin a new stage of his career, but he suffered such a serious injury at the start of the new season, which is undoubtedly disappointing.

Borussia Mönchengladbach have also made it clear that the club will fully support Enzo Leopold's rehabilitation, help him regain his form as soon as possible, and strive for his early return to the pitch.
