Impact Tuta had everything to do behind the ball during Sunday's win, and he did his work well. The defender caused issues for the Stuttgart attack throughout, popping up in channels and in the box to disrupt all the attacks.

Still he's also been rotated heavily as Frankfurt cycle through some different defensive looks.

Impact Tuta scored a single goal, a rare piece of production from the center-back, who hasn't played as large of a role. He does occasionally get a start in holding midfield, which gives him a bit more offensive upside. Still any goal threat from Tuta is likely to come from set-pieces.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Top option Tuta made 30 starts, scoring once and creating 12 chances in the Bundesliga.

Impact Tuta was asked to take over the top defensive job following the departure of Evan N'Dicka and he did just that. The defender was absolutely brilliant.

Goes full 90 in Conference League Tuta (thigh) started and went the full 90 minutes in Thursday's 1-1 draw against Levski Sofia in the UEFA Europa Conference League qualifiers.

Impact Tuta only played 65 minutes against Darmstadt in the Bundesliga opener last week but seemed okay to go the full 90 in this European match, meaning he should be available to face Mainz on Sunday -- unless the manager decides to rotate the squad following the 1-1 draw on Croatian soil.

Traveling for Conference League Tuta (thigh) was named to the match-day squad for Thursday's Conference League meeting with Levski.

Impact Tuta started the season opener versus Darmstadt before being pulled off in the 65th minute due to his thigh issue. Considering the central defender started all but one of his 38 Bundesliga and Champions League appearances for the club last season, he should be a near-lock for the starting XI if given the all-clear. Even if Tuta doesn't play Thursday, his presence in the match-day squad could clear the way for him to start versus Mainz on Sunday.
