Ansgar Knauff - Nets again Knauff scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-2 draw against SV Darmstadt 98.

Impact Knauff continued his run of good form with a goal during Saturday's draw. The attacking midfielder has been handed a relatively large role of late and is making the most of it. The question for Knauff has been if he can find some consistency, something that has plagued him during his time with Frankfurt.

Sasa Kalajdzic - Off late with foot injury Kalajdzic was forced off in the second half of Saturday's match against Darmstadt with a foot injury.

Impact Kalajdzic was forced off in the 89th minute succumbing to the injury and being replaced by Jessic Ngankam. The forward has started in both matches following the winter break after joining Frankfurt on loan from Wolves.

Sebastian Rode - Back as expected Rode (calf) is in the squad to face Darmstadt on Saturday.

Impact Rode returns from a calf injury which has kept him out of action since September. The midfielder settles for a role on the bench having started just one match in an injury plagued season thus far.

Timothy Chandler - Not available against Darmstadt Chandler (calf) is not in the squad to face Darmstadt on Saturday.

Impact Chandler was deemed good to go in the buildup to the match, but ultimately misses out on Saturday's squad. The fullback has yet to debut this season after playing just 83 minutes across six substitute appearances a year ago.

Timothy Chandler - Good for weekend Chandler (calf) is expected to make the the trip for Saturday's match against Darmstadt, said manager Dino Toppmoller.

Impact Chandler will look to make his season debut after failing to make an appearance since the start of the campaign. He's struggled with both injuries for the last year, making just six Bundesliga appearances during the 2022/23 campaign.

Sebastian Rode - Returning Saturday Rode (calf) is expected to be an option for Saturday's match against Darmstadt, said manager Dino Toppmoller. "Sebastian Rode will be in the squad tomorrow."

Impact Rode will return to the team after missing most of the season with a calf injury. He is expected to start off the bench after not having playing played since Sep 3, especially with Mario Gotze and Hugo Larsson the established midfielders for Frankfurt this season.

JANUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Donny Van De Beek - First start for Frankfurt Van de Beek registered three crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 1-0 win versus RB Leipzig.

Impact Van de Beek was put immediately in the starting XI during his first start with Frankfurt. He went 63 minutes while recording three corners and one chance Saturday. Especially with players missing from the roster due to both injuries and on international duty, the winger will likely see more time on the starting Xi after just once appearance with Manchester United.

Sasa Kalajdzic - Returned Saturday Kalajdzic started and played 62 minutes in Saturday's 1-0 win over RB Leipzig.

Impact Kalajdzic returned to action Saturday after dealing with a minor foot injury. It was also his first start since joining the club on loan from the Wolves. He is expected to get more minutes on the pitch with Frankfurt after only starting once in 11 appearances with the Wolves.

Sasa Kalajdzic - Dealing with foot injury Kalajdzic was limited in training ahead of Saturday's trip to Darmstadt due to a bruised foot.

Impact Kalajdzic's absence was deemed precautionary, so it may not impact his availability Saturday, though fantasy players will want to monitor the situation. In his debut for the club, the forward went 62 minutes versus RB Leipzig on Saturday, logging one chance created and one clearance. Perhaps most importantly, Kalajdzic got the start in that match, equaling his total number of starts in 11 outings with Wolverhampton.

JANUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Timothy Chandler - Returns to training pitch Chandler -- who has been sidelined with a calf injury -- participated in training ahead of a matchup with Darmstadt on Saturday.

Impact Chandler missed the previous six weeks due to his calf issue but was finally able to get back on the training pitch. Still, it doesn't mean the defender will be getting any minutes soon considering he's been an unused substitute most of the season, logging just 11 minutes off the bench in a Conference League clash with Helsinki back on Oct. 26.

JANUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Sebastian Rode - Training with squad Rode (calf) is back training with the first team ahead of Saturday's matchup with Darmstadt.

Impact Rode has been out of action since Sept. 3 versus Koln, a stretch of 14 matches on the shelf, so it's hard to imagine he would immediately jump into the starting XI once given the all-clear. Still, the club is thin on midfield options with Fares Chaibi and Ellyes Skhiri both away for international duty. As such, Rode could be pressed into service as a substitute if ready for some minutes Saturday.

Sebastian Rode - Trains with team Rode (calf) is back to team training ahead of Saturday's trip tp Leipzig.

Impact Rode made his return to team training after missing the last four months with a calf injury. It is unclear if the midfielder will be ready to make a return Saturday as he may need at least a full week of training before becoming an option for the team again. If Rode is not ready to play Saturday, then he will likely return for Jan 20 trip tp SV Darmstadt 98.

Sasa Kalajdzic - Joins Frankfurt on loan Kalajdzic will join Frankfurt for the remainder of the 2023/24 season on loan from the Wolves.

Impact Kalajdzic only made one start for the Wolves in 11 appearances during his second campaign with the team. He was able to score two goals in less than 160 minutes of play, logging in only four shots (two on target) in that span. The forward will work his was for more playing in the Bundesliga, especially with Omar Marmoush out with the Egyptian national team for the AFCON Cup.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Sebastian Rode - Working individually Rode (calf) took part in individual training during Tuesday's session, Frankfurt announced.

Impact Rode was active throughout Tuesday's session, but he only trained individually. The defensive midfielder has two more weeks to finish his recovery but this nagging calf injury has plagued him for almost two months now. The hope will be Rode can return for a Jan. 13 trip to Leipzig.

JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Kristijan Jakic - Trains fully Jakic (calf) took part in full training Tuesday, Frankfurt announced.

Impact Jakic was fully active in training during the first session after the winter break. The defender is a key depth piece and barring a setback it appears he will make his full return during a Jan. 13 trip to Leipzig.

Donny van de Beek has joined Eintracht Frankfurt on loan from Manchester United until the end of the season

JANUARY 1 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Donny Van De Beek - Loaned to Frankfurt van de Beek was loaned to Frankfurt from Manchester United for the remainder of 2023/24.

Impact van de Beek has struggled since joining Manchester United but he's now off to Germany and Frankfurt. There should be ample opportunity in the starting XI for van de Beek, especially with Fares Chaibi off to AFCON and Mario Gotze aging. This is a major chance for van de Beek to salvage his career that has stalled majorly since making the United move.

JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Ellyes Skhiri - Linking with national team Skhiri will link up with the Tunisian national team for the AFCON Cup in January.

Impact Skhiri has scored two goals with an assist in 14 appearances with Frankfurt thus far, 13 of them coming as starts. He's also been averaging about two tackles per game, with 28 (16 won) on the season. In his absence, Paxten Aaronson is expected to get more starts in the starting XI for the team.
