Bundesliga - Eintracht with personnel problems ahead of Bayern game
Eintracht Frankfurt are plagued by considerable personnel problems ahead of their Bundesliga home game against record soccer champions Bayern Munich. After the Hessians will definitely have to do without the injured Ellyes Skhiri, Sebastian Rode, Kristijan Jakic and Timothy Chandler for Saturday's game (3.30 pm/Sky), there is now also the threat of losing defensive boss Robin Koch and defensive player Hugo Larsson.
Both players returned from the cup match at 1. FC Saarbrücken (0:2) with injuries and are therefore doubtful, Eintracht coach Dino Toppmöller announced on Thursday. "Robin has some problems in his hip area. We'll also have to wait and see how Hugo feels," said the 43-year-old.
Nevertheless, Toppmöller expects a reaction from his team against Bayern after their exit in the cup round of 16. "It's about bringing the basics onto the pitch and being ready from the first minute," he demanded, adding: "Of course the players are tired, but we have to push the boundaries in our heads."
