Borussia Mönchengladbach have been without Franck Honorat for the last two games due to a foot problem.

And while the exact nature of the injury remains unclear, Gladbach coach Gerardo Seoane made it clear after his side's 5-1 defeat at Wolfsburg on Tuesday that the winger's return is far from imminent.

"With Honorat's foot injury, it doesn't look like he'll be able to play in the short term," Seoane said at a press conference, ruling Honorat out of the upcoming match against Bayer Leverkusen.

“He won't be involved on Saturday.”

Star striker Tim Kleindienst, on the other hand, should have a good chance of returning to action against Leverkusen after missing the defeat at Wolfsburg with a stomach bug.
