Eintracht Frankfurt is threatened with the loss of defender Christopher Lenz in the next few games. The 27-year-old was eliminated in the Champions League game against Sporting Lisbon (0:3) at half-time with a thigh injury.
“He felt a pang,” reported Eintracht coach Oliver Glasner, adding: “We’ll clarify that on Thursday, but I assume he’ll be absent for a week or two.”
If the fears are confirmed, Lenz would miss the Hessians in both the Bundesliga home game against VfL Wolfsburg on Saturday and in the Champions League away game at Olympique Marseille next Tuesday. The left-back was replaced by Luca Pellegrini against Sporting.
