GladbachSuspended three games
Castrop is done for the season after his red card has been increased to a three-match suspension, according to Rune Gjerulff of Bullinews.
Analysis: Castrop is seeing the end of his season prematurely, as after a red card in their last outing, the foul being revisited by the DFB, he has had his suspension increased to three games. This is a rough way to end the season, as he is a starter on the left flank when fit, leaving Lukas Ullrich or Florian Neuhaus to start in his place. Castrop ends the campaign with 20 starts in 26 appearances, notching three goals on 30 shots and one assist on 18 chances created.
Shown red Saturday
Castrop was shown a straight red card in the 92nd minute of Saturday's match against Wolfsburg and will be suspended for the next Bundesliga clash against Dortmund.
Analysis: Castrop was sent off with a straight red card in the second half of Saturday's clash against Wolfsburg and will miss at least one match due to suspension. The midfielder had started each of the last eight matches, logging consistent minutes, so his absence could be felt, with Lukas Ullrich expected to step into the starting role in his place.
Takes three shots, leaves injured
Castrop was injured and subbed out in the 72nd minute of Sunday's 1-1 draw against Mainz. He had three shots (one on goal) and one cross (one accurate) before exiting the match.
Analysis: Castrop struggled in front of goal, missing two big chances, and his outing worsened when he was forced off in the 72st minute with a slight thigh issue. The substitution appeared precautionary, but he remains questionable for the upcoming clash with Wolfsburg. Lukas Ullrich replaced him and could see increased playing time if Castrop is unable to feature.
