Frankfurt / Main (dpa / lhe) – Eintracht Frankfurt wants to quickly get over the 0: 3 defeat in the Champions League against Sporting Lisbon and land the next victory in the Bundesliga when they meet ex-coach Niko Kovac again. “We’ll have a good team back on the field that has our complete trust and wants to celebrate the third win of the season in a row,” said Eintracht coach Oliver Glasner before the duel with VfL Wolfsburg on Saturday (3:30 p.m. / Sky). “You have to clear your head now and then full speed ahead again.”
The 48-year-old has to do without Christopher Lenz, who suffered a fascia tear in his thigh against Sporting. The left-back is out until further notice. Captain Sebastian Rode, who is also injured, is also missing. “Definitely no one will come back before the international break,” Glasner emphasized on Thursday. The 18-year-old Marcel Little will be brought into the squad for this.
Glasner found words of praise for junior midfielder Dina Ebimbe, who replaced Rode in both the wins against Leipzig and against Lisbon. He was “very satisfied” with the performance of the Frenchman on loan from Paris Saint-Germain. However: “He played longer with us than with Paris in the previous calendar year. Of course, that has a physical impact.”
