Stuttgart Kick Off Without Guirassy's Fire in Frankfurt
VfB Stuttgart shake things up as they begin their Bundesliga match against Eintracht Frankfurt without their top scorer, Serhou Guirassy. Despite being linked with several high-profile clubs, Guirassy will not feature in the starting eleven for the Swabians' Saturday showdown (18:30/Sky). In his place, VfB coach Sebastian Hoeneß will opt for Deniz Undav to headline their attack.
Meanwhile, former world champion Mario Götze continues to be overlooked by Eintracht Frankfurt coach Dino Toppmöller, only making it onto the bench once more. Toppmöller's lineup change sees Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe replaces defender Hrvoje Smolcic in the starting eleven.
Despite Guirassy's unavailability, Undav steps up to spearhead Stuttgart's attack in this Bundesliga clash against Frankfurt. Ebimbe's inclusion in Eintracht's lineup serves as their sole alteration, as Smolcic misses out.
Enrichment Insights:
Serhou Guirassy moved to Borussia Dortmund before the Bundesliga match and has cemented his place as a key player for them. In the 2024-2025 season, he has scored an impressive nine goals and has consistently featured as a starter for the Dortmund team[1].
VfB Stuttgart's attack will be spearheaded by both Deniz Undav and former Augsburg striker Ermedin Demirović. Nick Woltemade is unfortunately unavailable due to an infection, forcing Undav and Demirović to form a formidable front line for Stuttgart[2].
