Analysis: Elvedi set up goals in the 81st and 91st minutes while leading Gladbach in blocks and clearances during the victory. Despite starting 33 Bundesliga matches, the assists were the first goal involvements this season for the centerback. Elvedi ends the year with 271 clearances, the most in the league.
Ends suspension
Elvedi is no longer banned and is an option for play again.
Analysis: Elvedi served his one-match ban due to yellow card accumulation, as the defender is an option for the final match of the season. He is a key defender for the team and should immediately return to the starting XI as his club wraps up the season.
Suspended one game
Elvedi will serve a one-match ban due to an accumulation of five yellow cards in the Bundesliga.
Analysis: Elvedi picked up his fifth yellow card in the Bundesliga and will serve a one-match suspension for Saturday's clash against Augsburg. The center-back has been an undisputed starter in the defense for Gladbach this season, therefore his absence will force a change in the starting XI, with Fabio Chiarodia likely replacing him for that game.
