During Borussia Dortmund’s 3-2 victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach, Beier encountered a problem with his right ankle after a collision with Julian Weigl in the 28th minute. Although he initially continued playing, he later repeatedly touched his ankle, indicating severe pain.

Eventually, in the 35th minute, Beier was substituted off and replaced by Karim Adeyemi. After leaving the pitch, he sat on the bench, shaking his head in frustration.

Niko Kovač spoke about Beier’s condition in the post-match press conference:“Maxi is in the hospital undergoing examinations. We don’t have any updates yet, but he suffered a blow to his ankle. I hope it’s nothing serious, but it’s concerning. When a player like Maxi, who has a high pain tolerance, leaves the pitch, it means something significant has happened.”

Earlier, Sebastian Kehl, Dortmund’s sporting director, said:“He suffered a blow to his ankle, and we must wait for further updates, but unfortunately, it looked serious.”

At the time of Beier’s substitution, Mönchengladbach was leading 1-0. However, Dortmund turned the game around with three goals, securing a 3-2 victory. With this win, Dortmund climbed to seventh place in the Bundesliga standings, now just four points away from a Champions League qualification spot.
