The use of captain Sebastian Rode in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League from Eintracht Frankfurt on Tuesday (9:00 p.m. / Amazon Prime) against the Italian top club SSC Naples is not excluded.
The 32-year-old midfielder was absent from the final training session with the team on Monday. “But he did individual exercises,” said former Eintracht professional and current video analyst Marco Russ on Eintracht TV. Rode had to take a break from last Saturday’s Bundesliga game against Werder Bremen (2-0) because of a flu infection.
