Eintracht Frankfurt has to put two staff setbacks away: Kaua Santos has suffered a cruciate ligament rupture against Tottenham, and midfielder Mario Götze also fails.
Only one day After the painful end in the Europa League Eintracht Frankfurt has to cope with the next setback. Because as the Hesse announced on Friday evening, keeper Kaua Santos suffered a cruciate ligament tear in the game against Tottenham on Thursday evening. This was the result of an MRI examination.
Due to the type of injury, it is clear that the 22-year-old will no longer play for the Hesse this season. It is still open whether captain Kevin Trapp will be in goal again on Sunday (3:30 p.m.)
Is Trapp returning to the Frankfurt Tor?
“He got into training this week. We have to see if he is an option for the game again,” said Frankfurt coach Dino Toppmöller at the press conference on Friday. At that time he knew nothing of the severity of the injury to Santos.
During the final training on Saturday, Toppmöller would like to make the decision about whether Trapp can and will play in Augsburg. If not, the third goalkeeper of the Frankfurters will get his commitment with Jens Grahl.
Götze also fails for a long time
In addition to the injury to Santos, the Bundesliga club also announced on Friday evening that Mario Götze will be canceled. The Eintracht midfield engine had injured against Tottenham on the right thigh and had to be replaced early. Due to the muscle injury, Götze will fail “until further notice”, according to the club’s press release.
