The young forward's impact has not gone unnoticed. Markus Krösche, Frankfurt's sporting director, believes Burkardt could play a significant role for Germany in the upcoming World Cup. His impressive start at Frankfurt, after joining from FSV Mainz 05 this summer, has been a major boost for the club. Burkardt's maturity and leadership on the pitch have made him a key figure in the dressing room, contributing to his quick integration into the team.
Jonathan Burkardt's rapid rise at Eintracht Frankfurt has been nothing short of extraordinary.

His impressive form has not only caught the eye of his club but also the national team's coaching staff. As the 2023 FIFA World Cup approaches, all eyes are on Burkardt to see if he can continue his impressive form and secure a place in the German squad.
