Jerome Onguene - Out to start season Onguene will miss the start of the season due to a strained thigh he suffered during Wednesday's friendly against Astoria Walldorf, his team announced Friday.
Impact Onguene is having a rough start to his first season in Germany, or rather won't be able to start just yet until he gets over this knock. It's unclear how long he'll be out just yet, and this should set up at least Evan N'Dicka and Tuta for starting spots in addition to Almamy Toure.

Kevin Trapp - Expected to be fit Trapp (illness) is expected to be fit for Monday's DFB Pokal match against Magdeburg, according to manager Oliver Glasner in his Friday press conference.
Impact Trapp had missed a friendly during the week but it doesn't appear to be a major issue. This will help keep him sharp ahead of a tough opening contest against Bayern Munich on Aug 5.

Sebastian Rode - Starting in preseason match Rode (strain) started in Wednesday's preseason victory against Astoria Walldorf.
Impact Rode missed last week's preseason match against Ajax due to a muscular injury, but he was back in the lineup from the start on Wednesday. Barring any additional injuries, he should be available for next week's Bundesliga opener against Bayern Munich.

Jerome Onguene - Picks up injury in preseason Onguene was subbed out of Wednesday's preseason friendly against Astoria Walldorf in the 59th minute after suffering an injury.

Evan N Dicka - Takes knock in training N'dicka missed Wednesday's friendly against Astoria Walldorf due to a knock taken to his calf in training.
Impact N'dicka is coming off a solid season with four goals and four assists in 32 league starts while he also made 132 clearances. It's important that he properly overcomes this injury with little time remaining before the Aug. 5 opener against Bayern Munich. If he's unable to play, Jerome Onguene would likely take on a bigger role in the first game of the new season.

Kevin Trapp - Misses friendly Trapp missed Wednesday's friendly against Astoria Walldorf due to a cold.
Impact Trapp figures to be the starter Aug. 5 against Bayern Munich but will miss what should be one of the final matches in his club's preseason training. He conceded 46 goals last season in league play but only 13 in the UEL en route to a title in that competition.
JULY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Sebastian Rode - Should be back soon Rode will miss a friendly against Ajax on Friday, he told media during an interview Thursday. He hopes to be back in training over the weekend.
Impact Rode is starting to get a little older and with his playing time reduced in preseason, he also told the media he likely won't play three times a week in competitive competitions either. This shouldn't impact his value too much as he already plays a more-defensive role, scoring just once last season.

Ansgar Knauff - Back in training Knauff (pelvis) was able to participate in Tuesday's training session, his club announced Tuesday.
Impact Knauff missed a friendly against Torino on Friday but was never expected to miss much time as a result. It will be worth seeing if he can become more than a contributor in European competition over the coming season.
JULY 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Ansgar Knauff - Missing friendly Knauff was held out of Friday's friendly against Torino due to a pelvic issue but should return to training next week, according to manager Oliver Glasner.
Impact Knauff was a vital contributor with two goals and one assist during seven Europa League starts last season and he may be in line for a bigger role if fit for the coming season. He now has until Aug. 5 against Bayern Munich to overcome this issue.

Impact Onguene scored two goals from central defense in 11 Austrian Bundesliga games last season for Red Bull Salzburg, and he made five Champions League starts in the group stage as well. The 24-year-old is now moving to Germany with Eintracht, where he could immediately slide into the starting lineup alongside Evan N'Dicka and in the back-three, replacing the retired Martin Hinteregger.

Lucas Alario - Moves to Frankfurt Alario signed a three-year deal with Eintracht Frankfurt following a move from Bayer Leverkusen.
Impact Alario should find more time at Eintracht after only getting five starts (27 appearances) this past season with Leverkusen. He's shown quality when given an opportunity and it wouldn't be surprising if he snagged a starting role for Eintracht, though he'll have competition from Nantes transfer Randal Kolo Muani.

Mario Gotze - Signs long-term Frankfurt deal Gotze has signed a three-year contract with Eintracht Frankfurt, moving on from PSV Eindhoven, the club announced.
Impact Gotze has completed a move to Europa League champions, Eintracht Frankfurt. The attacking midfielder has plied his tried all over Europe, including stints with Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. Gotze scored four goals and added four assists in 29 appearances for PSV during the 2021/22 campaign.

Randal Kolo Muani - Transfers to Europa League champs Kolo Muani has signed a five-year contract with Eintracht Frankfurt after a free transfer from Nantes.
Impact Kolo Muani will be the new shiny recruit for the Europa League champions. The forward will likely immediately compete for a regular role up front after hammering 12 goals for the Coupe de France holders - Nantes. He hauled in a total of 21 goals and eight assists in two seasons for the Canaries and could be extremely lethal if he can stay on the pitch on regular basis.

Kevin Trapp - Another strong season Trapp made 113 saves during 32 starts in the Bundesliga, earning five clean sheets.
Impact Trapp earned yet another nomination as the goal keeper of the year in the Bundesliga. The veteran secured the Europa League title with a heroic performance in the final, while also tallying the second most saves he's managed in a single season. Trapp will be a strong keeper and among the best in Germany once more heading into the 2022/23 season.

Djibril Sow - Career-best goal contributions Sow scored twice and provided three assists during 31 appearances (28 starts) in the Bundesliga.
Impact Sow tallied five goal contributions a new career best for the midfielder. He was a consistent part of the starting XI racking up 2,422 minutes in the Bundesliga as well as 1,086 minutes in the Europa League on the back of 12 starts in that competition. Sow was the heart-and-soul of the Frankfurt midfield and will be right back in the center of the park for the Europa League champions during the 2022/23 campaign.

Sebastian Rode - Struggles with injury Rode made 17 appearances (10 starts) throughout an injury-riddled 2021/22 season.
Impact Rode made 17 appearances, though he was a consistent starter and the leader of the midfield through the second half of the season. He missed the first half of the campaign with a knee injury and picked up an abdominal injury later in the season. Rode will hope the knee injury isn't a recurring issue, though as he moves later into his career the concerns around injury certainly are growing with Rode. Combined with his more defensive role in midfield and the years of Rode producing five or more goal contributions are likely over.
