Fares Chaibi - Assist in return Chaibi assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 3-3 draw versus Werder Bremen.

Impact Chaibi was in his first match since returning from AFCON and started immediately, earning 83 minutes of play. He would earn an assist upon his return, finding Nnamdi Collins in the 56th minute for the second goal of the match. Chaibi is up to seven assists this season in 14 appearances, although he only has one goal.

Arnaud Kalimuendo - Goal in opening minutes Kalimuendo scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Friday's 3-3 draw versus Werder Bremen.

Impact Kalimuendo would earn a second straight start Friday, playing the full 90 as he started at forward again. He would open the scoring in the match, wasting no time with a goal in the first minute. He now has one goal and an assist in his three games since joining Frankfurt, already breaking onto the scene in Germany.

Nnamdi Collins - Scores from defense Collins scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Friday's 3-3 draw versus Werder Bremen.

Impact Collins would work back into the starting XI Friday after two appearances off the bench, playing the full 90. He would score in his time on the field, finding the back of the net in the 56th minute for a goal from the defense. This does mark his first goal of the season and only his second in the past two seasons, coming in 16 appearances (10 starts).

Ansgar Knauff - Nets final goal of match Knauff scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Friday's 3-3 draw versus Werder Bremen.

Impact Knauff would save Frankfurt from dropping three points Friday and would instead earn one, finding the back of the net in the 94th minute. This comes despite appearing off the bench, his first time not starting in five games. He is up to three goals this season, with his last coming Sept. 27.

Mahmoud Dahoud - Subs off with discomfort Friday Dahoud was forced to exit Friday's matchup against Werder Bremen due to an apparent injury.

Impact Dahoud received treatment for some pain before leaving his place on the field to Can Uzun during the weekend clash. The experienced midfielder had just moved into the starting lineup after producing a goal and an assist over two straight substitute appearances. While the severity of his blow is unclear, he'll be a doubt for the next contests.

Rasmus Kristensen - Forced off against Bremen Kristensen left Friday's game versus Werder Bremen after picking up an undisclosed injury.

Impact Kristensen was unable to continue in the initial minutes of the second half following a quiet performance. He has made seven consecutive starts across all competitions but is now at risk of missing the upcoming double-week Champions League and Bundesliga action. Aurelio Buta is a possible replacement option at right-back, but Nnamdi Collins, currently playing in the middle, could also be deployed on the flank.

Can Uzun - Makes bench Friday Uzun (foot) is on the bench for Friday's game against Werder Bremen.

Impact Uzun was spotted in training Thursday, so it's not surprising to see him available on the bench. That said, he's been mostly a bench alternative for Frankfurt in 2025/26, so his fantasy upside shouldn't be very high.

Mario Gotze - Picks up illness Gotze is out for Friday's match against Werder Bremen, according to manager Dino Toppmoller. "Mario Gotze is out due to illness."

Impact Gotze is not an option for the club after some battles with an illness, as he will not recover in time to be an option for Saturday's match. Luckily for the club, this is a minor loss, not having started since the winter break ended. The good news is he should be an option next match when facing Qarabag in UCL action on Jan. 21.

Can Uzun - Option again Uzun (foot) is an option for Saturday's match against Werder Bremen, according to manager Dino Toppmoller. "Nene and Can = have trained again and will be in the squad tomorrow."

Impact Uzun had suffered a foot injury ahead of their midweek match, but after some work and recovery, the attacker has been deemed fit for Friday. He is lucky to only miss one game and will now hope to reclaim the starting spot he saw before his injury, although they may choose to be cautious, serving off the bench in three straight games after returning from his last injury.

Jonathan Burkardt - Behind schedule Burkardt (calf) is still out but is hoping to train again soon, according to manager Dino Toppmoller. "Jonny is still behind schedule, and we're hoping he can rejoin training with...

Impact Burkardt is not going to be with the team for yet another match, as the forward is still to train. That said, a further absence is likely waiting, probably not set to play again until February. He could then miss up to three or four more games, with Ansgar Knauff likely to continue at forward until he returns.

Mahmoud Dahoud - Assists Tuesday Dahoud assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Tuesday's 3-2 defeat versus VfB Stuttgart.

Impact Dahoud provided one assist during Tuesday's loss, another goal contribution for the defensive midfielder. He isn't often a major contributor getting forward, but he's done well in recent weeks. Still, his limited volume means that this hot streak isn't likely to last too long, as his assist came off a single chance created.

JANUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Ritsu Doan - Assists against Stuttgart Doan assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Tuesday's 3-2 defeat to VfB Stuttgart.

Impact Doan provided one assist during Tuesday's loss, a nice contribution, but not enough in a disappointing defeat. Doan has done well since making the move to Frankfurt, but he hasn't really taken a step forward and become a star producer. It was always bold for Frankfurt to expect that, but after the success of Omar Marmoush's signing, Doan had big shoes to fill.

JANUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Rasmus Kristensen - Nets in loss Kristensen scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Tuesday's 3-2 defeat against VfB Stuttgart.

Impact Kristensen got back on the scoresheet during Tuesday's loss. The defender was his usually active self going forward and found the back of the net on two shots. It's a nice performance, but the loss is disappointing, and Frankfurt continue to struggle to keep the ball out of their own net.

Younes Ebnoutalib - Sidelined weeks Ebnoutalib (undisclosed) is out for the next few weeks due to an inner ligament injury in his knee, according to his club.

Impact Ebnoutalib has hit the sidelines this week, as the forward was forced off early in Tuesday's outing and will now miss weeks due to a knee injury. He will likely sit out for the month or so as he recovers, luckily avoiding a tear and a season-ending injury. He has just earned his debut and two consecutive starts, a rough development for the forward, with Arnaud Kalimuendo a possible replacement until Jonathan Burkardt (calf) is fit again.

Nartey's breakthrough goal gives Stuttgart a 3-2 win over Frankfurt in thriller

Six years into his Stuttgart career, Nikolas Nartey has finally scored his first goal for the club to seal a thrilling 3-2 win over Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga

JANUARY 13 • Associated Press

Younes Ebnoutalib - Forced off against Stuttgart Ebnoutalib (undisclosed) was forced off in the first half of Tuesday's clash against Stuttgart due to an apparent injury following a bad knock.

Impact Ebnoutalib started for the second consecutive time since joining his new club but was taken off due to injury following a dangerous tackle on Tuesday's game against Stuttgart. The forward will need to be assessed ahead of upcoming league matches. Jean-Matteo Bahoya could see increased playing time if Ebnoutalib misses any games.

JANUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Hugo Larsson - Ruled out due to illness Larsson (Illness) is ruled out for Tuesday's game against Stuttgart, according to the club.

Impact Larsson is ill and unavailable for Tuesday's match against Stuttgart. The midfielder is hoping to recover in time for Friday's clash against Bremen. Larsson's absence forces a change in the starting XI, with Oscar Hojlund set to start in his place for that match.

JANUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Can Uzun - Suffers foot problems Uzun (foot) is ruled out for Tuesday's game against Stuttgart, according to the club.

Impact Uzun is dealing with a foot injury and is unavailable for Tuesday's game against Stuttgart. The playmaker will likely be assessed in the coming days to know the extend of the issues. Ansgar Knauff steps into the starting XI and could see increased minutes if Uzun remains sidelined for more games.

JANUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Jean Matteo Bahoya - Makes bench Tuesday Bahoya (illness) is listed on the bench for Tuesday's match against Stuttgart.

Impact Bahoya is back on the bench for Tuesday's match against Stuttgart after missing Friday's clash with Dortmund due to illness. His playing time had already declined over the previous three matches, and the additions of Arnaud Kalimuendo and Younes Ebnoutalib further limit his outlook.

JANUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Younes Ebnoutalib - Scores in first Bundesliga game Ebnoutalib scored one goal to go with three shots and two chances created in Friday's 3-3 draw against Dortmund.

Impact Ebnoutalib was brilliant in his first ever Bundesliga game after joining Frankfurt early January from second division side Elversberg, as he scored the second equalizer in the second half of Friday's draw against Dortmund. The young forward appears to be linking well with newcomer Arnaud Kalimuendo, who delivered the assist for his goal, and reports suggest he should see a decent role for the Eagles moving forward.

JANUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Ellyes Skhiri - Back with team Skhiri (international duty) is back with his team and is an option moving forward, according to manager Dino Toppmoller. "Tomorrow, Ellyes will return to the squad."

Impact Skhiri was likely to be an option for the match against Stuttgart and is, with the manager confirming he is not only back with the team but is now an option. He has started in seven of his nine appearances this season and will hope to reclaim a starting role moving forward, still without a goal contribution this campaign.
