Eintracht Frankfurt will be without offensive player Jesper Lindström in the round of 16 of the DFB Cup against second division leaders Darmstadt 98.
“Unfortunately, he’s out because of a hardened thigh,” said Eintracht coach Oliver Glasner. Otherwise, all professionals would be available for the game on Tuesday (8:45 p.m. / ARD and Sky).
In the Hessen derby, the Bundesliga club wants to live up to its role as favorite. “In the end, it’s easy. The goal is the quarter-finals,” emphasized Glasner.
The 49-year-old left it open which starting eleven he will send onto the pitch. “We have to see who is playing. We still have a few games to play and that’s why we don’t want to take any risks. Health is the most important thing,” said Glasner. Captain Sebastian Rode will definitely be there from the start. “He will play,” announced the Eintracht coach.
