Injury Concerns Grow for Eintracht Frankfurt Ahead of Bayern Clash

omidbasir- Eintracht Frankfurt may be without defender Rasmus Kristensen for the remainder of the season following an ankle injury sustained during their recent 3-0 victory against Borussia Monchengladbach. This injury is severe enough to necessitate surgery.

This setback adds to the challenges faced by head coach Albert Riera, who remains unbeaten in his first two matches in charge. Last week, the club announced that Belgian defender Arthur Theate had suffered a meniscus tear, which will keep him out of action for a minimum of one month.

In the match against Gladbach, forward Arnaud Kalimuendo had to exit the game due to a shoulder injury, further straining Frankfurt’s attacking options. Jonathan Burkardt and January signing Younes Ebnoutalib are already unavailable due to their own injuries.

Additionally, Frankfurt confirmed that Ansgar Knauff has undergone surgery for an abdominal issue and will be unavailable for the foreseeable future.

As Frankfurt prepares for their upcoming match against Bayern Munich on Saturday, head coach Riera faces the challenge of filling several key positions in a bid to close the gap to European competition.
