Eintracht Frankfurt in the premier class again with Rode

Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt can fall back on captain Sebastian Rode in their first away game in the Champions League.

“We are very happy that Sebastian is back a little earlier than expected,” said coach Oliver Glasner: “He hasn’t done anything for a week, so we won’t decide together until the day of the game which season he is capable of.”

Rode had paused for ten days because of a muscle injury in his thigh. The Italian newcomer Luca Pellegrini will be absent due to a slight thigh problem. On Tuesday (9:00 p.m.) at Olympique Marseille, it’s about “doing better” than last week and “getting the first points in the Champions League,” emphasized Glasner.

However, this will be anything but easy, because Marseille is a “very good team in very good form”, explained the Austrian: “They have a clear structure, but are still very variable in possession. They have a lot of pace on the outside . Defensively they play man-to-man, don’t give you much time.”
