The midfielder returned to full team training on Wednesday and is trending toward being available for Sunday's clash against Bayern.

Ruled out Saturday Chaibi (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Gladbach.

Impact Chaibi is ruled out for Saturday's outing after failing to recover from the slight knock he sustained ahead of the match. The midfielder had required further testing but is not cleared in time to feature. His absence removes a player who has started 20 of his 24 appearances this season, though he had started only once in the past three games. Mario Gotze is the one playing deeper in the midfield for that clash.

This is something to watch moving forward if he misses out, as he does see decent time, starting in 20 of his 24 outings.

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.

Trains partially Tuesday Chaibi (thigh) was spotted training partially on Tuesday, the club posted.

Impact Chaibi suffered a thigh injury during the game against Mainz prior to the international break and couldn't join the Algeria squad as he needed to recover from the issue.

If deemed fit enough for the game, Chaibi should claim back a starting spot in the midfield.

NOVEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't join Algeria squad Chaibi suffered a thigh injury in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Mainz and won't join the Algeria national team for duty, the Algerian Federation announced.

Impact Chaibi registered two shots, three corners and two tackles before being forced off limping late in Tuesday's draw against Napoli.

Assists in win Chaibi assisted once to go with one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 victory against FC St. Pauli.

Impact Chaibi provided an assist during Saturday's win, returning to his role in midfield and immediately taking on a creative role. This was always going to be an easier match after some tough recent showings, and it's the type of match Chaibi shined in. Chaibi has thrived in this role in matches that Frankfurt controls, but has largely been played around when against top opponents.

OCTOBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Records assist Chaibi assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus SC Freiburg.

Impact With a low pass in the penalty box, Chaibi assisted Eintracht Frankfurt's second goal, scored by Jonathan Burkardt. In six starts this season, he has four assists. Chaibi's more recent form is unsurprisingly excellent, evident with his one goal and three assists across Frankfurt's last three games.

OCTOBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Goal, pair of assists Chaibi scored one goal and assisted twice from two shots and six chances created in Saturday's 6-4 victory against Monchengladbach.

Impact Chaibi put together an excellent match Saturday, tallying three goal contributions during a ridiculous 10-goal thriller. The midfielder has been excellent in deeper-lying midfield and should continue to be a big contributor moving forward. He's been surprisingly creative even in this more defensive role, though he still gets forward occasionally.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2025 • Associated Press

Assists in new role Chaibi assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), seven crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 4-1 victory over Werder Bremen.

Impact Chaibi switched to a new role for Saturday's season-opener. He slotted back from attacking midfield into a deeper-lying role, and he thrived in that position. He was excellent throughout the match and set up an assist in the second half. Against top opponents he's likely to be replaced by Ellyes Skhiri, who is more defensively sound, but in matches Frankfurt expect to control, Chaibi could be an intriguing option even from defensive midfield.

AUGUST 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Finishes with assist Chaibi assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), eight crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 3-1 win over SC Freiburg.

Impact Chaibi had a truly disappointing season. He was expected to take a step forward and become a real contributor in the first team, instead he finished with just one goal and three assists while seeing his minutes nearly halved. With Frankfurt favoring wingers at times throughout the season Chaibi could struggle for any sort of minutes next season.

MAY 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Assists against St. Pauli Chaibi assisted once to go with two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus FC St. Pauli.

Impact Chaibi has had a mixed season, often falling to the bench due to form, formation, and health. He showed what he can do creatively during Sunday's clash, and showed why he remains a solid part of the squad. If Frankfurt can settle their attack during the offseason, Chaibi could become a big part of it in 2025/26.
