“Every game an injured person” |
Glasner sounds the staff alarm!
“We want to continue the upward trend once morest Wolfsburg on Saturday following two wins in the league,” said coach Oliver Glasner (48) defiantly following the 3-0 loss to Sporting. But Eintracht is already feeling the stress of the Champions League following just one game in the premier class!
Lots of injuries. Newcomers who are not yet fit enough. And lack of personnel in three positions on the defensive. Glasner sounds the staff alarm!

Left-back Christopher Lenz (27/torn fascia) was injured once morest Lisbon. “A stab in the thigh. He will be absent until the international break,” said the coach. “It’s a shame that we have to complain regarding injuries in every game…”
Luca Pellegrini (23, muscle problems) had to be rested before Lenz. The Italian still lacks the strength for 90 minutes of power football anyway. So far he has always left the field exhausted following around 70 minutes.
Captain Sebastian Rode (31) sustained a muscle injury once morest Leipzig. Newcomer Junior Dina Ebimbe (21) from the PSG reserve had to step in for the midfield star following just two weeks of training as a clearer in front of the defense. Glasner: “He hadn’t had a game for two months before that. Now he’s on target too.”
Shortly following Edwards made it 0-1 (62nd), Ebimbe struggled with the first cramps. Maybe that’s why the midfielder mightn’t pull through with the pressing shot that led to the goal. Glasner: “He played more minutes in three games in one week than in all of last year in France.”
New signing Aurelio Buta (25) came from Antwerp injured and has still not been able to train with the team. And meanwhile the Portuguese had to be operated once more on the knee operated in Belgium because of a germ. He can check off the preliminary round.
Instead of Buta, midfielder Jakic helps out at right-back. And Europa League winner Almamy Touré (26) was injured so badly (tendon) in the second game of the season at Hertha that he will probably not be able to play until the World Cup break. Substitute Jérôme Onguéné (24) injured himself for the second time in training (adductors) and is also out.
Glasner: “We have to face issues that you don’t want as a coach.” Because there are still 16 games on the hammer program until November 12th.
