Shoulder injury: Frankfurt without Tuta in Helsinki
Cup finalists Eintracht Frankfurt will have to travel to Finland without defender Tuta. The 25-year-old will miss the Conference League match at HJK Helsinki on Thursday (18:45) due to a shoulder contusion, as the club announced on Tuesday. Tuta was injured in the away win at Union Berlin last Saturday. Frankfurt (six points) can already distance themselves from the home team and FC Aberdeen (one point each) with a win in Helsinki. Eintracht are currently only playing away from home because two games of the American football league NFL are taking place in their own stadium.
Despite the shoulder injury, Tuta won't be able to join Eintracht Frankfurt in their Europa Conference League match against HJK Helsinki. Regardless of Tuta's absence, the German team aims to secure a win, which could help them distance themselves from their opponents in the group stage, including HJK Helsinki and FC Aberdeen.
