- Højlund, the newcomer in Eintracht, experiences an emotional breakdown midway.
Frankfurt's new acquisition, Oscar Højlund, suffered a grievous injury during training with the German Bundesliga team. The Danish U19 star, signed from FC Copenhagen, fractured his metatarsal. The team officially confirmed this. As a result, he won't be featuring against Hoffenheim on Saturday. The exact length of his absence remains undetermined.
Initially, Højlund was supposed to attend a media event on Wednesday, but his teammate Arthur Theate stood in for him. Højlund managed to make brief appearances in Frankfurt's victory in the DFB-Pokal in Braunschweig and their opening Bundesliga match against Dortmund (0:2).
Højlund's elder sibling Rasmus transferred to Manchester United last summer for approximately 70 million euros, while his identical twin Emil recently joined Schalke 04.
Despite the unfortunate injury, Oscar Højlund was looking forward to participating in the football league with Frankfurt. Unfortunately, his participation in the league will have to wait as he recovers from his fractured metatarsal.
