Eintracht Frankfurt will have to make do without Sebastian Rode in the Bundesliga game against SC Freiburg. A new addition is celebrating a premiere.
Update from September 24th, 4:35 p.m.: The Eintracht lineup is here! SGE coach Dino Toppmöller orders Fares Chaibi into the starting line-up for the ailing Mario Götze, who is only sitting on the bench. The newcomer from Toulouse is in the starting line-up for the first time.
Trapp – Tuta, Koch, Pacho – Buta, Skhiri, Larsson, Nkounkou – Chaibi, Dina Ebimbe – Marmoush
Report from September 23rd: Frankfurt – The 2-1 win at the start of the Europa League season against FC Aberdeen was anything but a sure-fire success for Eintracht Frankfurt. After the narrow victory, the next tough challenge awaits SGE coach Dino Toppmöller and his team with the home game against SC Freiburg on Sunday (September 24th) at 5:30 p.m.
Competition: Bundesliga, 5th matchday Date: Sunday, September 24, 2023 Kick-off: 5:30 p.m. Venue: Deutsche Bank Park (Frankfurt)
Eintracht Frankfurt: Sebastian Rode is out “until further notice”.
The 42-year-old will definitely have to do without Sebastian Rode, who suffered a tendon injury in his calf and will be missing “until further notice”. With Mario Götze, who received a blow, we still have to wait and see.
“Otherwise the boys coped well with the game, we have to talk to the individual players tomorrow so that we have a feeling for how fresh we are going into the game,” explained Toppmöller at the press conference on Friday. Regardless, it is expected that he will send his team onto the pitch in the usual 3-4-2-1 system.

Eintracht Frankfurt against SC Freiburg: Tuta replaces Smolcic – Hasebe only remains on the bench
The place between the posts has been appropriately given to Kevin Trapp. Willian Pacho and Robin Koch, who expressed ambitions of returning to the national team after the Aberdeen game, will most likely defend in the back three. Third place should go to Tuta again after Hrvoje Smolcic was preferred in the Europa League.
On the other hand, veteran Makoto Hasebe, who hasn’t really played a role in the current season, is left out. The aforementioned three-man chain is currently “ahead because we are doing a great job defensively”. Nevertheless, the Japanese is an “important player for us”. “When I see how he is there for the group, how he lives the whole thing, then I have to take my hat off,” said Toppmöller.

Götze’s appearance in Frankfurt’s game against Freiburg is questionable – chance for Chaibi?
But there is probably no room for Hasebe in the midfield center either, which will most likely be made up of the two new additions Ellyes Skhiri and Hugo Larsson. Niels Nkounkou and Aurelio Buta could start in the wing positions, as they did against Aberdeen – especially considering that Götze is still questionable and Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe showed a strong performance as a hidden number 10.
The 22-year-old could also play against Freiburg there, the place at his side would be reserved for the same Götze – if he can play. Otherwise, Fares Chaibi, who came at half-time and contributed an assist as an “invigorating element”, was particularly important against the Scots. A starting eleven debut in the SGE jersey is anything but impossible. Paxten Aaronson, on the other hand, didn’t have a good day and is likely to move back into the second tier.

Eintracht Frankfurt: Marmoush probably has a slight advantage over Ngankam
This would still leave the place in the storm center. Toppmöller has already ruled out the possibility of Lucas Alario playing, a decision will be made between Omar Marmoush and Jessic Ngankam. The former is likely to be slightly ahead, especially since ex-Herthan player Ngankam was allowed to play against Aberdeen from the start and was not completely convincing.
There will finally be clarity on Sunday afternoon at 4.30 p.m. when the SGE will announce their starting eleven.
