Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt can fall back on the recently injured offensive player Jesper Lindström in the final of the Europa League.
“Jesper is doing very well, he did the final training without any problems,” said coach Oliver Glasner: “He’s ready for action. I’ll sleep a night about whether he’ll play from the start or come off the bench.”
Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt can fall back on the recently injured offensive player Jesper Lindström in the final of the Europa League. “Jesper is doing very well, he did the final training without any problems,” said coach Oliver Glasner: “He’s ready for action. I’ll sleep a night about whether he’ll play from the start or come off the bench.”
Lindström had been out with thigh problems since the semi-final first leg at West Ham United at the end of April, so only defender Martin Hinteregger will be missing against Glasgow Rangers on Wednesday (9 p.m. / RTL) because of his thigh injury. In general, the team is “in good condition,” emphasized Glasner: “The mixture of concentration, focus and relaxation is right.”
Eintracht star Rode speaks of “career highlight”
He rejects the role of favorites that has been pushed by many sides. “If you win like Rangers against second and fourth in the Bundesliga, you’re the favorite when you play eleventh in the Bundesliga,” said the 47-year-old. In any case, that will not be decisive in the final, he explained. Rather, it depends on who is better at dealing with the particular situation.
All of Europe can look forward to this game, emphasized the Eintracht head coach: “There are two teams that probably have the best away fans,” said Glasner: “This mood is a factor that cannot be measured. You get goosebumps, something is happening with you.” Captain Sebastian Rode therefore simply expects his previous “career highlight, it will be gigantic.”
