Ellyes Skhiri - Trains individually Skhiri (thigh) has been training individually Wednesday ahead of Sunday's match versus Bayer Leverkusen.

Impact Skhiri is back on the grass after missing the last two matches with a thigh injury. He would have to participate in full training at least once before he is an option for the team again, leaving him with a questionable tag for Sunday. If the midfielder is still not fit to play, then Eric Junior will get the start again alongside Hugo Larsson.

Kevin Trapp - Excellent in win Trapp recorded three saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 5-1 win against Bayern Munich.

Impact Trapp did everything asked of him to come away with a very comfortable win during Saturday's clash. The defense in front of him didn't leave much for him to mop up, but he did enough to comfortably come away with conceding just one, despite the last first half goal. Trapp will continue to be an excellent option moving forward.

William Pacho - Busy defensively Willian Pacho recorded six tackles (five won), seven clearances and one interception in Saturday's 5-1 victory against Bayern Munich.

Impact Pacho had plenty to do behind the ball against an absolutely lethal Munich attack, and he made the most of it. The defender piled on the defensive volume throughout and showed some impressive defensive positioning to shut down various attack. Pacho has cemented himself as one of the first names on the team sheet in 2023/24.

Fares Chaibi - Assists in new role Chaibi assisted once to go with three shots (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 5-1 victory versus Bayern Munich.

Impact Chaibi got the start up top as a striker during Saturday's win and did well with the new role, making the most of it and assisting once. It's unclear if this new formation will stick, though with Chaibi's good showing it's hard to see why he would be bottled up next time out. The attacking midfielder has taken some time to gel but does seem to be growing into his more attacking role in Germany.

DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hugo Larsson - Nets rare goal Larsson scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 5-1 win over Bayern Munich.

Impact Larsson wasn't signed to be some sort of consistent goalscoring threat but he made no mistake when given the chance to take the lead early. The young midfielder is brilliantly growing into a bigger role during his first season with Frankfurt and is looking well-worth the club record fee.

DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ansgar Knauff - Nets in limited chances Knauff scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 5-1 win versus Bayern Munich.

Impact Knauff didn't have many chances fall his way but the ones that did he absolutely buried. The winger remains a a strong option in all formats when given more run in the starting XI. The issue is simply that Knauff struggles to get on the pitch and stay on the pitch for big minutes.

DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Omar Marmoush - Excellent in rout Marmoush (suspension) scored one goal and assisted twice from one shot and four chances created in Saturday's 5-1 victory against Bayern Munich. In addition, he was given a yellow...

Impact Marmoush will be suspended next time out but that doesn't take away from the brilliant showing he had against Munich. He was at the heart of everything positive and chipped in consistently throughout the match. The striker will continue to be a productive option in all formats moving forward.

DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Eric Ebimbe - Nets brace Eric Junior scored two goals to go with four shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 5-1 victory over Bayern Munich.

Impact Eric Junior stepped up in one of the biggest matches of the year, scoring a brace to send Munich packing. The midfielder was brilliant throughout and made the most of every single chance that fell his way. If Eric Junior can keep this form going he could play his way into a more consistent starting role.

Aurelio Buta - Comes off bench in Pokal Buta came off the bench for the second half of Wednesday's 2-0 DFB Pokal loss to Saarbrucken.

Impact Buta came off the bench for the second half Wednesday and struggled to get much going against Saarbrucken. It was a terrible performance from the team as a whole and that didn't dodge Buta, who struggled to even string a pass together at times. Still Buta has seen minutes all over the pitch in the Bundesliga, something that will likely continue moving forward.

DECEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Makoto Hasebe - Rare start in cup Hasebe got the start during Wednesday's 2-0 loss to Saarbrucken in the DFB Pokal.

Impact Hasebe was back in the starting XI, making a rare appearance for the club in the Pokal. The defensive midfielder is essentially a player-coach at this point, and has even signed an agreement to join the coaching staff when he retires. Despite that he continues to produce top quality performances when called upon.

Omar Marmoush - Attempts six shots Marmoush generated six shots (three on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 defeat versus FC Augsburg.

Impact Marmoush established a new season high in shots and shots on goal. Unfortunately for the striker, his latest effort was unable to break a now-three-game goal drought he has experienced since mid-November. However, this season has already proven that Marmoush can withstand goal droughts and eventually provide some magic. After going goalless across September, he scored five goals from Oct. 21 to Nov. 4.

DECEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Kevin Trapp - Goal concession trend continues Trapp registered two saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-1 defeat versus FC Augsburg.
