Frankfurt / Main (dpa) – It became quiet in the otherwise loud spectator stands in the Frankfurt stadium, Eintracht professional Jens Petter Hauge fought back tears. It was an eerie scene after Greuther Fürth’s Marco Meyerhöfer suffered a serious ankle injury.
After an unfortunate duel, Meyerhöfer was carried out of the stadium on a stretcher, and he is threatened with a long break. “We hope that he will soon be healthy again,” said head coach Stefan Leitl, who only wanted to say a little about the sport and the 0-0 draw at Eintracht, who played well in the Europa League. The concern for Meyerhöfer, who was taken directly to the hospital and accompanied by his family, was too great. “We are very sad, I hope everything will be fine again,” said Jetro Willems. Now the Franks announced that Meyerhöfer’s operation went well. The operation took place on Saturday evening.
“I myself saw the foot in a not so nice position. It overshadows the game. There aren’t many winners today,” said Frankfurt captain Sebastian Rode. Defensive man Meyerhöfer is actually a constant in the starting eleven of the Franconians, whose direct relegation seems almost inevitable.
