Gladbach's Nordtveit, Xhaka out of Nuremberg match

MOENCHENGLADBACH, Germany (AP) — Borussia Moenchengladbach midfielders Havard Nordtveit and Granit Xhaka will miss Sunday's Bundesliga game at Nuremberg.

The club says Nordtveit has a knee injury while Xhaka has the flu. It did not say which knee Nordtveit had injured, nor give any indication of when either player will return. Meanwhile, 19-year-old midfielder Amin Younes extended his contract with the club by three years to June 2016.

Moenchengladbach is seventh in the Bundesliga after seven games unbeaten — nine across all competitions.
