6:23 p.m.: He is still at Borussia Park! Goalkeeper Yann Sommer (34), associated with a winter transfer to Bayern Munich, trained with his teammates in Gladbach on Friday January 13. Sommer only left the training ground with goalkeeping coach Fabian Otte (32) when all the other foals were already in the dressing room. The Swiss national player did not hesitate to pick up his colleagues’ balls and put them away. He then took time for fans, wrote autographs and made himself available for selfies. Sommer should therefore also be in goal for Gladbach in the test against St. Pauli on Saturday.
