Three shots Sunday Tuta generated three shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Union Berlin. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 74th minute.

Impact Tuta was surprisingly offensive during Sunday's draw, getting forward when given the chance and almost scoring himself. The defender occasionally slots into central midfield, and he is certainly the most active ball-carrier among the Frankfurt backline. Still he's also been rotated heavily as Frankfurt cycle through some different defensive looks.

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.
