Kristijan Jakic - Uncertain against Bochum Jakic (knee) is a doubt for Saturday's clash with Bochum, according to manager Dino Toppmoller.

Impact Jakic's status for Saturday's clash is up in the air as he surprisingly was listed with a knee injury. He was active during the break, starting a friendly against Wehen Wiesbaden, so it's unclear when this knee injury began.

Lucas Alario - Doubt Saturday Alario (mouth) is a doubt for Saturday's clash with Bochum, according to manager Dino Toppmoller.

Impact Alario is dealing with a minor tooth issue and is a doubt for Saturday's clash. If the forward is able to play it would likely be on the bench behind Omar Marmoush and Jessic Ngankam. Alario did play 14 minutes off the bench during a friendly over the international break.

Kristijan Jakic - Starts versus Wehen Wiesbaden Jakic (concussion) featured in the starting XI for Thursday's friendly against Wehen Wiesbaden.

Impact Jakic missed the club's last clash with Koln after suffering his concussion but seems to be ready to return to action heading into Saturday's matchup with Bochum. If cleared to play, Jakic should be in contention to feature in the starting XI which could see Hugo Larsson relegated to a spot on the bench.

Lucas Alario - Comes off bench in friendly Alario (knee) played 14 minutes of Thursday's friendly versus Wehen Wiesbaden.

Impact Alario last featured for the club back on April 15 versus Monchengladbach. Given his extended layoff, the forward will likely be hard-pressed to immediately break into the starting XI and may be held in reserve against Bochum on Saturday. Additionally, Alario made just two starts in 20 Bundesliga contests last season, so fantasy players shouldn't be banking on him starting any time soon.

Philipp Max - Not called up for Conference League Max wasn't registered for the group stage of the UEFA Europa Conference League.

Impact Max has been the de facto first choice at left-back but wasn't added to the Conference League registration. Manager Dino Toppmoller made it clear the decision was performance and tactics based, not fitness. Niels Nkounkou and and Ansgar Knauff will likely be the top options at left-back, at least in European competition.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Kevin Trapp - One save for draw Trapp made one save and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw against 1. FC Koln.

Impact Trapp only faced two shots during Sunday's draw and he stopped one of them. The goalkeeper is off to a strong start with two goals conceded and eight saves in three matches, including a clean sheet. Trapp is playing behind a new look defense but remains one of the more individually gifted goalkeepers in Germany.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Aurelio Buta - Four crosses in draw Buta recorded two shots (zero on goal), four crosses (two accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus 1. FC Koln.

Impact Buta got his first start of the Bundesliga and created his first chances while sending in a season-high four crosses. The defender faces some competition at right wing-back, namely from Ansgar Knauff, who got the start in each of the opening two matches. The two will likely rotate throughout the Bundesliga.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Paxten Aaronson - First Frankfurt assist Aaronson assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus 1. FC Koln.

Impact Aaronson provided his first assist for Eintracht during his first full season with the club. The attacking midfielder came off the bench for the final 10 minutes and set up the equalizer in the closing moments of the match. The midfielder isn't likely to find a significant role despite this assist.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Niels Nkounkou - Nets debut goal Nkounkou scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus 1. FC Koln.

Impact Nkounkou came off the bench to make his Frankfurt debut and scored a heroic equalizer off the bench. The defender had never scored before in his career but introduced himself to the Frankfurt faithful in the most memorable way. Nkounkou's role is uncertain moving forward as Philipp Max likely remains the top option on the left side of the formation.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ansgar Knauff - Suspension served Knauff served a one-match suspension and is now eligible for selection once more.

Impact Knauff was sent off against Mainz and forced on the sideline against Koln. The winger is now eligible for selection once more after the international break, where he should be an option to return to the starting XI immediately.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Philipp Max - Brought off early Max was brought off with an undisclosed issue at half time during Sunday's one-all draw with Koln.

Impact Max only made it 45 minutes before being forced off the pitch. There was no specific injury to point to as he made it to half time but the wing-back did ride multiple heavy challenges. Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe could see a start at left wing-back if Max is unable to get fit over the course of the international break.

Sebastian Rode - Available off bench Rode (thigh) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Koln.

Impact Manager Dino Toppmoller had already confirmed Rode will return to the squad in this one, so his presence on the bench isn't a surprise. The central midfielder lasted just three minutes in the season opener, so he's expected to see minutes off the bench with an eye toward having him completely fit after the international break.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Makoto Hasebe - Makes bench Sunday Hasebe (illness) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Koln.

Impact Hasebe didn't play last week against Mainz, but he recovered in time to make the bench here. The veteran defensive specialist has yet to make a start in the current Bundesliga campaign, so his absence from the starting lineup shouldn't alter many fantasy decisions.

PSG completes signing of French forward Randal Kolo Muani before transfer deadline

Lars Sidney Raebiger - Completes Frankfurt move Raebiger has completed a permanent move from Greuther Furth to Frankfurt, his new club announced.

Impact One of the most promising talents in Germany, the 18-year-old came through the RB Leipzig ranks and now will get a chance to compete in the Bundesliga. However, he's not expected to see many minutes in his first year with the club and could feature sparingly.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Niels Nkounkou - Signs with Frankfurt Nkounkou completed a permanent transfer to Frankfurt from St. Etienne, Frankfurt announced.

Impact Nkounkou made the swap to St. Etienne three months prior but now heads to Germany with Frankfurt in the top flight. The Eagles already confirmed Nkounkou would begin with the U21 side, but he could quickly progress, especially with the lack of defensive depth in the Frankfurt side.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Kristijan Jakic - Out with concussion Jakic (head) will not be an option for Sunday's match against FC Koln. "Jakic suffered a concussion and will definitely be out" confirmed manager Dino Toppmoller.

Impact Jakic started the last league match after Sebastian Rode suffered a thigh injury. He will now be forced to miss Sunday's game as he enters concussion protocol. This means that Eric Junior will be the next player up to get the start in the midfield for the time being.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sebastian Rode - Expected to return Rode (thigh) is expected to return to the team for Sunday's match against FC Koln. "Seppl Rode is returning to the squad" confirmed manager Dino Toppmoller.

Impact Rode looks to be ready to go for Saturday after suffering a thigh injury on Aug 20. He could start off the bench, with either Kristijan Jakic or Eric Junior an option to start in the midfield on Sunday,

SEPTEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hugo Larsson - Active off bench Larsson played 60 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 2-0 win over Levski Sofia.

Impact Larsson came on for the injured Kristian Jakic (undisclosed) and played an hour. If the injury to Jakic proves to be serious Larsson could be in line to make his Bundesliga debut during Sunday's clash with Koln.

AUGUST 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Kristijan Jakic - Forced off with injury Jakic was forced off with an apparent injury during the first half of Thursday's clash with Sofia.

Impact Jakic had to come off the pitch after just 31 minutes due to an apparent issue. The defensive midfielder has taken a role all over the pitch when needed at full-back and center-back on occasion. Jakic would be a major loss, even if he likely wouldn't pose a major change to the starting XI.

Fares Chaibi - Secures permanent transfer Chaibi joined Eintracht Frankfurt from Toulouse on a permanent transfer Wednesday.

Impact Chaibi made two appearances off the bench to open the season with Toulouse, logging a combined 56 minutes in which he recorded one assist, seven crosses (one accurate) and two corners. Even with the move to the Bundesliga club, the midfielder is far from a lock for the starting XI and will likely continue to feature primarily as a bench option.

AUGUST 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Randal Kolo Muani - Will miss Europa League Play-off Kolo Muani (not injury related) did not train with the team Wednesday and will miss Thursday's match against Levski Sofia.

Impact Kolo Mauni will be scratched from Frankfurt's team sheet after missing out on practice due to a transfer dispute. The French goal-scorer has been on strike and skipping out on practice, trying to force a transfer out of Germany before Friday's transfer deadline. He ideally would like to end up back home playing for PSG, but Fankfurt looks to not be budging at this moment.. With Kolo Mauni missing from the squad, expect Jessie Ngankam or Omar Marmoush to start in his position.
