From the source

Borussia Mönchengladbach captain Tim Kleindienst suffered another muscle tear in mid-October after returning from a long injury lay-off and although eager to make a return, head coach Alexander Blessin remains cautious in regards to rushing back his captain too soon.

“He’s constantly being worked on,” explained Blessin at Thursday’s press conference. “I don’t know how many MRI scene have already been done to monitor the healing process.”

As reported by Kicker, Kleindienst will not return before the November international break, and it’s possible that he won’t return shortly after, either. “He’s giving it all,” he added.
