Borussia Mönchengladbach are sweating over the fitness of Denis Zakaria ahead of Wednesday's derby clash with FC Köln.

The midfielder was forced off in the first half of Gladbach's 1-2 loss to Borussia Dortmund on Saturday after a collision with Yann Sommer.

Speaking after the game, Gladbach coach Marco Rose said nothing is torn or broken, but it's unclear whether Zakaria will be able to feature against FC Köln on Wedesday.

"Things are looking a big better. But he's still in a lot of pain," Rose said and added:

"We have to see from day to day. If we were to play today, he wouldn't be able to feature."

Zakaria himself has written on Instagram that the injury isn't serious and that he expects to be back soon.
