Borussia Mönchengladbach’s new signing, Daiki Hashioka, was taken to a hospital following a collision during the 0-3 loss at RB Leipzig. Borussia’s sporting director, Rouven Schröder, confirmed this immediately after the final whistle. “He’s a tough guy—if there’s an injury, it’s a whole different story. Especially in that area—we really have to be careful. He was taken off the field right away. Now let’s hope everything turns out okay,” said Schröder. The 27-year-old defender collided with Leipzig’s Antonio Nusa in the 72nd minute of the Bundesliga’s opening matchday following a cross. Nusa received a yellow card for the incident. Hashioka, suffering from neck pain, was carried out of the stadium on a stretcher and stabilized. Copyright 2026, dpa (www.dpa.de). All rights reserved
