Borussia Monchengladbach fail to understand Dominguez allegations

Posted Friday, December 09, 2016 by Marca.com

Max Eberl, sporting director of Borussia Monchengladbach, has responded to claims from Alvaro Dominguez that he was treated poorly by the club.

The defender announced his retirement from the game this week at the age of 27 after a series of chronic back problems.

In an exclusive interview with MARCA, Dominguez suggested that he was not treated properly by Monchengladbach throughout his injury and insisted that such a situation would never have occurred with a LaLiga side, much to the chagrin of Eberl.

"Sadly, Alvaro has made some serious accusations that we simply can't understand," stated Eberl. "Of course, we understand that this is an emotional time he is going through after making such a difficult decision but our medical team did absolutely everything possible to help him.

"The same goes for the club, with those involved helping where we could and were allowed to help and we will continue to do so in the future. We are there for Alvaro!"

Dominguez claimed that the Bundesliga side did not make a proper diagnosis of his injury and tried to make him play through the pain and also revealed that he had to cover his own medical expenses.
