Eric Ebimbe - Out with muscle issue Junior (strain) will not be an option for Saturday's match versus Bochum, per manager Dino Toppmoller. "Junior Dina Ebimbe will be out due to minor muscular problems. We expect him...

Impact Junior left match match at halftime with a muscle problem that will keep him out of Saturday's match. He had started the last nine matches in a row, totaling two goals and one assist in that span. This could give Donny van de Beek a chance to get a start in the attacking midfield against Bochum.

Kevin Trapp - Poor in loss Trapp made two saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-0 loss against 1. FC Koln.

Impact Trapp stopped two of the four shots he faced during Saturday's loss. The goalkeeper had a day to forget for the most part, as he struggled to stop some tame shots. Trapp will have brighter days ahead, especially as the Frankfurt team gets plenty of starting defenders back from AFCON and injury.

Ellyes Skhiri - Busy in loss Skhiri had two shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-0 defeat versus 1. FC Koln.

Impact Skhiri was tasked with single-handedly controlling the midfield Saturday and he was unable to do so. He made four interceptions but struggled to stop the pace of the Koln attackers. Skhiri should get his normal midfield partner, Hugo Larsson, back moving forward, especially with Fares Chaibi back to take over in attacking midfield.

Fares Chaibi - Single shot in loss Chaibi recorded one shot (one on goal), six crosses (three accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 2-0 defeat against 1. FC Koln.

Impact Chaibi came off the bench for the second half of Saturday's loss, and took a significant role on set-pieces straight away. The midfielder is back from AFCON and has continued to earn a larger first team role throughout his first season with Frankfurt. Chaibi should be the first choice in attacking midfield moving forward in all competitions.

Omar Marmoush - Available Saturday Marmoush (AFCON) is back in Frankfurt and is available for Saturday's clash with Bochum, Kicker reports.

Impact Marmoush is back from AFCON and is available for Saturday's match. The forward has played a major role with Frankfurt, though new signing Hugo Ekitike could prove to be major competition for a starting role. Marmoush will likely continue to see consistent minutes either way, though he may shift to attacking midfield.

FEBRUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Niels Nkounkou - Sees red Sunday Nkounkou was sent off for a pair of yellow cards during Sunday's 2-0 loss to Koln.

Impact Nkounkou was sent off in a match that went from bad to worse Sunday. The left-back struggled throughout and will now spend at least one match on the sideline with the suspension. Philipp Max or Ansgar Knauff would be the two most likely options to replace Nkounkou during the Saturday clash with Bochum.

FEBRUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Tuta - Sent off in loss Tuta was sent off during Saturday's 2-0 loss to Koln, for two yellow cards.

Impact Tuta will now miss a Saturday clash with Bochum due to the suspension. The defender is tough to replace as he has been the anchor in the center of the Frankfurt backline. One possible option could be Hrvoje Smolcic, who has played a bit more of late.

Omar Marmoush - Still in Africa Marmoush (illness) won't be an option for Saturday's match against Koln, as manager Dino Toppmoller announced, "Marmoush remains in Egypt with a cold and fever. He is being treated...

Impact Marmoush will now miss his fourth straight match Saturday due to his involvement in AFCON, now having picked up an illness in the days following the tournament. The club will hope for the forward to return soon, as before we traveled to Africa, he spent all but three matches in the starting XI. He will look to get back in the squad next Saturday against Bochum as he looks to improve upon his seven goals and three assists.

Jens Hauge - Picks up knock Hauge was limited to only individual training after warmups Tuesday, appearing to have picked up a knock ahead of Saturday's match against Koln.

Impact Hauge may be the newest member of Frankfurt to join the injury list, having gone down with an undisclosed injury during training on Tuesday. Not much more has been released on the midfielder's issue, so the seriousness of the knock and a timetable for his return is still hard to identify. However, luckily for the club, his absence shouldn't take too much of a toll on the team, as he has not started a contest this season, only playing 138 minutes all season as a substitute. He will hope to reach full fitness before Saturday's match against Koln, where he will most likely serve as a substitute once again if healthy.

Omar Marmoush - Stays in Egypt with illness Marmoush was left back in Egypt following AFCON due to an illness ahead of Saturday's match against Koln, the club announced Tuesday.

Impact Marmoush is no longer serving with Egypt in the AFCON following their elimination on Monday but is still not back with the team after picking up an illness. With the club's next match on Saturday, the player will still have time to reach full fitness and return to the team by that contest. The team will hope for his return against Koln, as the forward has started in all but four matches this season, with three of those absences being due to AFCON. More on the player's development should be released before Saturday's game.

Jean Matteo Bahoya - Transfers to Germany Bahoya has agreed upon a transfer to join Frankfurt from French Ligue 2 side Angers SCO, his new club announced Thursday.

Impact Bahoya will be continuing his career with Frankfurt over the next couple of seasons, having signed a five-and-a-half-year deal to remain with the club until June 2029. The midfielder spent his previous two campaigns with Angers in France, where he generated 32 appearances in that span to go along with five goals and two assists. He shouldn't be expected to get on the team sheet right away for the club but should earn some decent amount of time on the pitch, as he will look to develop with his new club as well as shape out a starting role within the next few seasons if not this year.

Fares Chaibi - Links back with Frankfurt Chaibi will return to Frankfurt Thursday as he is expected to be an option for Friday's match against Mainz, per manager Dino Toppmoller. "The exit at AFCON is a shame. We haven't...

Impact Chaibi is making a return to Frankfurt after Algeria have been eliminated from the AFCON Cup. With Sasa Kalajdzic dealing with an injury, this means that the forward will likely return to his starting XI spot for the team against Mainz. He did start 11 of the 13 games played prior to leaving to his national team, logging in a goal and two assists in that span.

Kevin Trapp - Single save Saturday Trapp recorded one save and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus SV Darmstadt 98.

Impact Trapp faced three shots and stopped only one in what was a very disappointing showing. The goalkeeper is still a strong option but he couldn't get a hand on two late goals from Darmstadt. Trapp will hope for a better showing against Mainz on Friday, a team that has struggled mightily going forward in 2023/24.

JANUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Eric Ebimbe - Assists in draw Junior assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-2 draw against SV Darmstadt 98.

Impact Junior added an assist during Saturday's draw putting together another nice showing on the right side of the midfield. Junior has earned the top spot in the starting XI but still shows some issues defensively, which could see him rotated if the formation shifts. Still in this sort of form and with his ability to play all over the pitch Junior should be a consistent piece of the starting XI moving forward.
