Oscar Hojlund - Suffers metatarsal fracture Hojlund is out until further notice after suffering a broken metatarsal in training Wednesday, according to his club.

Impact Hojlund's time at Frankfurt has started in a sour way after joining the club this offseason, as the midfielder will now miss out on a solid chunk of the season due to a broken metatarsal. This will likely leave him out for three to four months, not returning until sometime in December or January. He only appeared off the bench for 14 minutes in the season opener, so he wasn't likely to see a major role this campaign, although his absence may grant Eric Junior and Timothy Chandler more time.

Kevin Trapp - Three saves in loss Trapp made three saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Borussia Dortmund.

Impact Trapp stopped three of the five shots he saved, coming away with an opening day loss. It was always going to be a brutally difficult clash, and it went as expected. Still Trapp is one of the more talented goalkeepers in the Bundesliga, and if the Frankfurt defense can improve he could push double-digit clean sheets.

Omar Marmoush - Two chances created Marmoush recorded one shot (one on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-0 loss versus Borussia Dortmund.

Impact Marmoush created a pair of chances during Saturday's loss, showing some nice creativity off the left wing. There was some concern that Marmoush would fall out of the starting XI in favor of Can Uzun, but that seemed to be unfounded, at least for the opening match of the season. Marmoush will need to be at his best to hold on to his starting job though.

Hugo Larsson - Quiet in loss Larsson registered one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 2-0 defeat against Borussia Dortmund.

Impact Larsson didn't have much to do as he failed to get on the ball in a match that Dortmund dominated. The midfielder seems set for a larger role in the starting XI now that he's back to full fitness, but he likely won't be overly involved in the attack. Larsson could see some rotation during the busier parts of the season, especially with new signing Can Uzun.

AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE

Fares Chaibi - Busy on set-pieces Chaibi had one shot (zero on goal), eight crosses (zero accurate) and six corners in Saturday's 2-0 defeat versus Borussia Dortmund.

Impact Chaibi had a lion's share of the set-pieces Saturday and produced plenty of chances. None found the back of the net, but it's an encouraging role for the attacker. Frankfurt finally seem set for a consistent starting XI, and Chaibi should be a massive contributor in the starting XI. If Chaibi can stay fit he should have the volume to set new career-highs for goal contributions.

AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE

Hugo Ekitike - Frustrated in loss Ekitike had three shots (one on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-0 defeat against Borussia Dortmund.

Impact Ekitike had the volume during Saturday's loss, but failed to make much of those chances. The striker was largely contained by the defense and only put one of his shots on net. Ekitike should be the starting option in the attack every week, and with easier matches coming up he should have more productive weeks moving forward.

Krisztian Lisztes - Out of opener Lisztes (illness) is not in the squad to face Dortmund on Saturday.

Impact Lisztes' absence is confiremd as he hasn't trained in the buildup to Saturday's season opener due to an illness. The midfielder will have to wait at least another week to make his competitive debut for Frankfurt.

AUGUST 24 • ROTOWIRE

Krisztian Lisztes - Not training Lisztes (illness) didn't train Thursday due to illness, according to manager Dino Toppmoller.

Impact Lisztes missed training due to a minor illness, but could still play some part during Saturday's trip to Dortmund. The winger isn't likely to be a major contributor even if fully fit, and won't change the starting XI if he's unable to return.

AUGUST 23 • ROTOWIRE

Arthur Theate - Loaned to Frankfurt Theate has been sent on loan to Frankfurt from Rennes, according to his new club.

Impact Theate will be heading to Germany for the new season, as will join Frankfurt on a season-long loan, with the club having the option to buy the player following the season. He started in 27 of his 28 appearances last campaign while notching two goals, 30 tackles, 31 interceptions and 90 clearances. He should see regular time with his new club, likely competing for starting time immediately.

AUGUST 21 • ROTOWIRE

Willian Pacho - Signs with PSG Pacho has agreed on a five year deal with PSG, keeping him in France through 2029.

Impact Pacho will become PSG's first every Ecuadorian player to sign for the team after signing a huge contract from Frankfurt. He had a stellar campaign during his first season in the Bundesliga, starting all 33 matches played. The defender made two assists while averaging about 4.2 clearances. Pacho will be a heavy favorite for the starting center back position for the team ahead of the 2024/25 year.

Aurele Amenda - Plays Tuesday Amenda (lower leg) came on in the 75th minute during Tuesday's 4-0 preseason win over Louisville.

Impact Amenda had begun preseason with a small lower leg injury since officially joining the side in the summer. Now that the defender is back, he is set to continue to play for a starting role in the lineup. He made 23 appearances during the Super League in 2023/24, assisting once while logging in about 81 minutes per contest.

JULY 31 • ROTOWIRE

Aurele Amenda - Partially integrated into training Amenda (lower leg) was included in parts of team training Wednesday, according to his club.

Impact Amenda continues to make progress on his recovery program, as he has now partially trained with the team after picking up an injury early in the off-season. This leaves him in a solid spot moving forward, as with a month until their season opener, he should be fit to go by then.

JULY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Rasmus Kristensen - Sent to Germany Kristensen has been loaned to Frankfurt from Leeds United, according to his new club.

Impact Kristensen has switched from English football to Germany for the next season, joining Frankfurt on loan for the 2024/25 season. This is his second straight season on loan, having spent last campaign with Roma, notching one goal on nine shots and one assist on 12 chances created in his 29 appearances (19 starts). He is likely to see decent time with Frankfurt in the next season and will likely see starts here and there while pushing for a full-time starting role.

Aurele Amenda - Joins first team training Amenda (lower leg) began to train individually and is expected to complete the rest of training camp with the team, the player told reporters Thursday. "Since then I have made a lo...

Impact Amenda suffered an injury early on in the off-season but is already closing in on fitness, as he has trained with the team for the first time since his issues. This is great news for the defender, as this should leave him available for the opening match of the season, that is if he can avoid aggravating the issue or picking up a different injury.

JULY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Jerome Onguene - Sent back to Frankfurt Onguene has returned to Frankfurt following his loan with Servette.

Impact Onguene is back with the Eagles for the 2024/25 campaign, as his loan in Switzerland has come to an end. He still has yet to feature for his parent club, so it will be interesting to see what role he shapes out this season. However, there is a decent chance the defender will head out on another loan ahead of the upcoming season.

JULY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Marcel Wenig - Returns to Frankfurt still injured Wenig has completed his loan stay with Nurnberg and will return to Frankfurt ahead of the 2024/25 season as he continues to deal with an ACL injury.

Impact Wenig is set to start the season off on the injured list as he continues to work back from an ACL tear suffered in January. He was sent on loan to Nurnberg midseason, having made 19 appearances with Frankfurt II, scoring a goal before heading on loan.

JULY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Faride Alidou - Ends loan with Koln Alidou has completed his loan stay with Koln and will return to Frankfurt ahead of the 2024/25 season.

Impact Alidou was able to get decent playing time with Koln, starting 14 times in 26 appearances while scoring four times on 33 shots (11 on target). With Koln relegated to the second division, the midfielder will return to Frankfurt ahead of the new season.

Aurele Amenda - Suffers tendon injury Amenda has suffered a tendon injury, Frankfurt announced Wednesday.

Impact Amenda has already gone down with an injury after joining his new club, as he suffered a tendon injury that does not appear too severe.

He has yet to appear for the first team but will hope this new contract gives him the boost up from the reserve ranks.
