Impact Tuta missed last weekend's loss to Hoffenheim after dislocating his shoulder in training, but he's back with his teammates now and could return to the squad to face Mainz on Saturday. Almamy Toure could continue in his place in the back-three if Tuta isn't fit enough to start yet.

Busy defensively versus Augsburg Tuta had one off-target shot, made two tackles (one won), five clearances and three blocks and was shown a yellow card during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Impact Tuta had another very productive display at the heart of the defense, putting up some nice numbers while having the best against opposing forwards most of the times. Over his last three starts, the center-back racked up 10 tackles, 13 clearances and eight interceptions. If someone wants to pick an Eintracht defender for fantasy purposes, Tuta looks like the correct answer right now.

Suspension served Tuta served a one-match ban against Bochum and is now available to return before Saturday's trip to Leverkusen.

Eight clearances Sunday Tuta recorded eight clearances in Sunday's 3-0 loss to 1. FC Koln.

Impact Tuta made eight clearances as he piled on the defensive volume. It wasn't enough to keep Koln off the scoresheet though and left Frankfurt looking down a one-sided loss. Tuta will have a hectic second half of the season to look forward to with a jam-packed schedule.

Helps maintain clean sheet Tuta had one cross (zero accurate) and three clearances in Saturday's 3-0 win against Hertha Berlin. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 64th minute.

Impact Tuta was able to return from a one-game absence when Eintracht Frankfurt played at SC Freiburg on Jan. 25. Despite his team being unable to maintain a clean sheet that day or when playing against Bayern Munich on Jan. 28, both opponents failed to score multiple goals. Tuta's three clearances and two interceptions and one block helped Eintracht Frankfurt finally log a clean sheet the team seemed destined to deserve.

Available for Wednesday Tuta (ankle) is "fully fit and in contention to start" in Wednesday's clash against SC Freiburg, Eintracht manager Oliver Glasner announced Tuesday.

Impact Tuta missed Saturday's win over Schalke with an ankle injury he suffered the previous week, but he will be available versus Freiburg and could take back over from Hrvoje Smolcic as a starter in the back-three.

Out against Schalke Tuta (ankle) will not be involved in Saturday's clash against FC Schalke, Eintracht manager Oliver Glasner announced Friday.

Impact Tuta was back in training with Frankfurt on Friday after suffering an ankle injury during a club friendly last week, but the quick turnaround is "too short-term and too dangerous for me," according to Glasner. Kristijan Jakic, Makoto Hasebe (illness) and Hrvoje Smolcic are all options to replace him in the back-three for Saturday's game.

JANUARY 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with ankle injury Tuta was not able to train with Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday due to an ankle injury.

Impact Tuta suffered this ankle injury during a club friendly against Lech Poznan last week, and he will be doubtful for the resumption of Eintracht's Bundesliga campaign against Schalke on Saturday. Kristijan Jakic or Makoto Hasebe (illness) could replace him in central defense if necessary.

JANUARY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starts all matches Tuta started all 15 matches in the Bundesliga during the first half of the season.

Impact Tuta scored once in that time and created two chances from center-back. The defender has seen his role with Frankfurt grow, and is set for far and away the most playing time he's seen yet. Tuta has made starts in every league match and all but one Champions League match as he continues to be a nailed-on starter.

Misses Marseille win Tuta was suspended for Wednesday's 2-1 win over Marseille, making him eligible for Saturday's match against Borussia Dortmund and Tuesday's trip to Sporting CP.

Impact Tuta had appeared in all 15 games before his suspension following a red card in the previous UCL match against Tottenham. Expect him to remain in the lineup on a regular basis as long as he's fit and available.

Sent off Wednesday Tuta was shown two yellow cards during Wednesday's Champions League clash with Tottenham.

Impact Tuta was shown two yellow cards and sent off Wednesday in the space of four minutes in the second half. In a match Frankfurt were already losing their center-back getting sent off certainly doesn't help. Makoto Hasebe will likely partner Evan N'Dicka next time out in the Champions League against Marseilla on Oct. 26, while Tuta should continue to be a nailed-on starter domestically.

OCTOBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Keeps clean sheet for UCL victory Tuta held a clean sheet and added four tackles (two won), two interceptions and five clearances in Tuesday's 1-0 win over Marseille.

Impact Tuta and the Eintracht back line held their second clean sheet in last four matches and seem to be coming to their own lately. With three or more goals allowed on three occasions already though defenders have been risky options in fantasy. The center-back also has one goal and does take occasional shots on goal.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Earns starting role Tuta made 26 starts, scoring four goals during the 2021/22 Bundesliga season.

Impact Tuta earned a true starting role in his second season with Eintracht Frankfurt. The defender became a true piece of Frankfurts back three, and also added four goals from just six shots on goal, an unsustainable rate, but a nice boon for fantasy managers. Tuta will be right back in the starting XI for Frankfurt during the 2022/23 campaign.

Nets fourth goal Tuta scored once on one shot during Saturday's 2-2 draw with Mainz.

Impact Tuta scored his fourth goal of the season, a strong return for the central defender. While he didn't prove to be a major fantasy option, Tuta had some surprising upset with his goal-scoring. The defender will be back in the middle of the back three for the Europa League final against Rangers.

MAY 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Makes three tackles in draw Tuta made three tackles (two won), two clearances and two interceptions while helping his side to keep a clean sheet during Saturday's scoreless draw against Greuther Furth.

Impact Tuta didn't have much work coming his way as the rest of Eintracht defensive line but still found his way to rack up some decent numbers, being key for his side to shut the opposition down for the second consecutive match. With 10 tackles and eight interceptions over his last three league starts, the centre back will try to remain productive during Apr. 10 home clash against Freiburg.

APRIL 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Records six tackles against Bochum Tuta had three shots (one on goal), one block, three interceptions, six tackles, one foul and sustained one foul in the 2-1 victory over VfL Bochum on Sunday.

Impact Tuta is not only an anchor for the defense, he also serves as an offensive threat. Against Bochum, he managed to do both effectively, bringing his aggression to both ends of the pitch. If his squad wants to stand a chance of winning the next match against Real Betis, the defender will have to come ready to do the same.

MARCH 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scores third goal in 4-1 win Tuta scored once, took one shot (one on target), made one tackle (one won), intercepted once and cleared twice in the 4-1 victory against Hertha Berlin on Saturday.

Impact Tuta had another great performance and one of his better all-around performances this season. The defender not only offered his steady defensive work, but he also pinched up in the perfect spot to score his third goal of the season. After not joining the rush much at the early stages of the season, Tuta has been in the thick of set-pieces much more lately. However, the bulk of his value will continue to come from clearances. Over his last five appearances, he is averaging, 0.8 shots, 0.2 created chances, 0.2 crosses, 1.6 tackles, 1.0 interceptions and 2.4 clearances per 90 minutes in all competitions.
