Bundesliga: Dina Ebimbe's Status Uncertain Against Leverkusen, Trapp's Return Boosts Frankfurt
Eintracht Frankfurt's Dina Ebimbe faces an uncertain future in the Bundesliga, with an injury sustained during the 2-0 defeat in Aberdeen casting doubt over his participation in Sunday's clash against Bayer Leverkusen (17:30, DAZN). The talented 23-year-old Frenchman picked up a sole ankle sprain, prompting the club to label him as doubtful for the upcoming fixture.
Ebimbe's absence would be a significant blow to Frankfurt, especially considering his standout performance in their recent 5-1 victory over Bayern, which took place in Great Britain. The attacking player bagged a brace in that game, proving his worth to the Hessians.
However, there is some positive news for Frankfurt, as Kevin Trapp is expected to make a swift return from his back pain, which forced him to exit the Aberdeen match early. The German national goalkeeper showed signs of improvement and should be fit enough to feature against Leverkusen, provided he passes the final fitness test.
In Ebimbe's absence, Fares Chaibi could be called upon to fill the void. The Tunisian forward was notably ill for the Aberdeen game but is now back to full health. With Omar Marmoush serving a suspension, Chaibi has a golden opportunity to impress manager Dino Toppmöller and earn a starting berth.
"He's not quite at peak fitness yet, but if he feels right, he'll be in the line-up," said Toppmöller. The coach is also optimistic about the recovery of Ellyes Skhiri, who could potentially return from his thigh injury in time to take a spot on the bench.
Enrichment Insights:
- In the absence of Ebimbe, Eintracht Frankfurt have turned to Nathaniel Brown to bolster their midfield for their Europa League engagements.
- Brown has impressed Toppmöller with his promising performances and potential, justifying his inclusion in the team.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding Ebimbe, Frankfurt will still seek to end the year on a high in the Bundesliga. Bayer Leverkusen will be a formidable opponent, and any injury to key players could impact their chances of securing crucial points.
