Kaua Santos is alleged to violate Brazilian football regulations
Eintracht Frankfurt's squad is bolstered by the presence of defender Tuta and goalkeeper Kaua Santos, who have both returned from their respective breaks in South America earlier than expected. As of now, there are no public reports suggesting that either player is currently injured or sidelined.
Tuta, who joined the club in 2019, has become a valuable asset to the team, demonstrating his versatility as he can play as an inside defender, outside defender, and defensive midfielder. Kaua Santos, on the other hand, is aiming high with his ambition to become the best goalkeeper in the world.
The Brazilian goalkeeper, who tore his cruciate ligament in April, is currently recovering well from his injury. Kaua Santos has been wearing his goalkeeper gloves again, a promising sign of his progress, but the uncertainty remains whether his knee can handle a full load. Pirmin Schwegler, the club's sports scientist, has confirmed that Santos' knee is on track with his rehab plan.
Meanwhile, Kaua Santos has been focusing on his recovery during the summer break and feels freer as a result. Both Tuta and Kaua Santos participated in joint strength and endurance training sessions at Eintracht Frankfurt's professional camp, indicating their readiness for the new season.
The return of Tuta and Kaua Santos adds competition to the goalkeeping position, with Kevin Trapp currently favoured to start. However, Santos is not willing to voluntarily give up his position and is putting pressure on Trapp for playing time. This could lead to another showdown for the goalkeeper spot, similar to the one that occurred last season.
Coach Dino Toppmöller values Tuta highly as an important part of the team, and he is careful not to put players in risky situations too early. The coach is expected to make strategic decisions to ensure the team's success in the upcoming season.

Tuta, having demonstrated his versatility in various defensive roles, might prove valuable in French sports-analysis discussions due to his potential impact on Eintracht Frankfurt's squad. Kaua Santos, despite his current knee recovery and ambition to become the best goalkeeper in the world, continues to pose a threat to Kevin Trapp for the starting goalkeeper spot in French football, potentially leading to another fierce competition in the position.
