🏟️ Back in Action for Eintracht
It's time for Eintracht to get back into the swing of things! After a brief international break, preparations for their league home game against Stuttgart are underway.
Tuesday's agenda was all about sharpening those scoring skills. Jessic Ngankam, Lucas Alario, and Nacho Ferri were put to the test, tasked with finding the back of the net in various drills. Coach Dino Toppmöller wanted to see his pros excel in different scenarios--from small goals to one-on-one situations and small-sided games.
The players showed commendable effort, but perfection wasn't always achieved. Coach Toppmöller provided constructive feedback and tips to help improve their positioning and evasion techniques near the back post. In the end, they also practiced defending in a back four, which remains a must despite the ongoing absence of defensive boss Robin Koch.
Waiting in the wings: Sebastian Rode
Sebastian Rode, Eintracht's captain, is still recuperating from a calf injury and hasn't returned to the training pitch just yet. His much-anticipated comeback isn't close, but he's relentlessly working on his rehab program.
As for Eintracht's other players, Robin Koch and Igor Matanovic are both on the mend from their respective injuries. Robin is recovering from a muscle fiber tear, while Matanovic is nursing a foot injury. Both are set to begin their recovery programs immediately.
Stay tuned for more updates on Eintracht Frankfurt's performance in the Bundesliga!
