Monchengladbach’s Hahn sidelined
Berlin: German football club Monchengladbach’s midfielder Andre Hahn will miss the opening games of the second half of the season due to an inflammation of his Achilles tendon.
Hahn won’t be available for Monchengladbach’s upcoming games as his left Achilles tendon has been immobilized with a plaster cast for 10 days, as per reports.
The German international midfielder will be out of action for at least two to three weeks. He will thus miss the first three games of the second half of the season.
Hahn joined the “Foals” from Augsburg in March 2014 to pen a deal until June 2018. He has scored six goals in 23 appearances and five assists since.
Monchengladbach occupy the fourth place in the Bundesliga standings. They face Stuttgart away Jan 31.

Sunil Gavaskar gives his opinion of GT allrounder Rahul Tewatia
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
