Impact Burkardt failed to really get much done during Saturday's loss, for the most part he was shutout throughout the match. He just couldn't find any space to operate in against Dortmund's defense, who seemed to constantly know just how to shut him down. Burkardt will have an easier time in the coming weeks as this was always going to be a very difficult match.

Impact Burkardt was brilliant throughout Saturday's win, he scored and assisted and was dangerous every single time he got on the ball.

SEPTEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Starting in return Burkardt (illness) is in the starting XI for Saturday's Bundesliga opener against Union Berlin.

Impact Burkardt shook off the illness that had limited him during the DFB-Pokal win over St. Tonis and affected him again earlier in the week, with coach Adi Hutter handing him a starting role after the forward returned to full team training Thursday and came through the remaining sessions without any issues. Hutter had expressed confidence in his availability ahead of the weekend, and the forward's progression from light work Wednesday to a full session Thursday proved enough to earn an immediate return to the starting lineup. His return is a timely boost for Eintracht Frankfurt heading into the Bundesliga opener against Union Berlin.

Impact Burkardt has recovered well from the illness that limited him during the DFB-Pokal win over St. Tonis and affected him again earlier this week. The forward resumed light work Wednesday before returning to team training Thursday, putting him on track to feature Saturday. Burkardt should be in contention to return to the starting XI against Union if he comes through the remainder of the week without any issues.

AUGUST 27 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for opener with lingering cold Burkardt remains sidelined ahead of the Bundesliga opener at Union Berlin, having missed Tuesday's training due to a stubborn cold, according to Bild.

Impact Burkardt first showed symptoms during the 11-0 German Cup win over St. Tonnis, a match in which he still contributed three goals and two assists before being substituted in the second half, only for the illness to hit him harder afterward. His potential absence would be significant given his central role in coach Adi Hutter's attack, having led Frankfurt with 13 goals in 22 appearances last season.

Brilliant brace to end Burkardt scored two goals to go with three shots (two on goal) and one cross (one accurate) in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus VfB Stuttgart.

He ended the season showing just how special he can be adding three goals in his final 38 minutes of the campaign. On the whole he finished with 13 goals and one assists in 1,340 minutes, and elite strike rate for anyone. Burkardt should be a key piece of the attack as he gets back to full fitness for next season.

Impact Burkardt took a single shot during Friday's loss, making the most of his only chance and finding the back of the net. The striker has been excellent when healthy this campaign, but nagging injuries have proven troublesome, and have kept him out of the starting XI at times.

Scores in defeat Burkardt scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 3-2 defeat against Bayern Munich.

Impact Burkardt found the back of the net Saturday despite taking just two shots.

Back on bench Burkardt (calf) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Bayern.

Impact Burkardt is back on the bench after spending several months sidelined with a calf injury and recent weeks out due to illness. The striker resumed full team training in recent weeks and is included in the squad for Saturday's showdown with the Bavarians. His return strengthens the Eagles' attacking depth as he competes with Arnaud Kalimuendo for the number nine role.

FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Should be available Saturday Burkardt (calf) trained normally Wednesday and should be an option for Saturday's clash against Bayern, according to BILD.

Impact Burkardt is in line to make his return after spending several months on the shelf with a calf injury, having ramped things up in team training over the past few weeks. The striker has trained normally Wednesday with the team and is trending toward a spot in the squad for Saturday's showdown with the Bavarians. That's a major boost for the Eagles, who get a proven presence back up top, though Burkardt now walks into a real battle with Arnaud Kalimuendo for the number nine role.

Impact Burkardt has been sidelined since Nov. 26 due to a calf problem, and while he won't be an option here, chances are he'll be ready to feature against Bayern Munich on Feb. 21. Burkardt has 10 goals in 15 matches between the Bundesliga and UEFA Champions League this term, so his return would provide a huge boost for Frankfurt.

FEBRUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Could return against Gladbach Burkardt (calf) was spotted in team training since two weeks, increasing his workload and could be set to return for Saturday's clash against Gladbach, according to BILD.

Impact Burkardt has been out since late November with a calf injury but he has been back training with the team for the past two weeks and could be ready to return for Saturday's clash against Gladbach. This would be a major boost for the Eagles since he was a regular starter early in the season after arriving over the summer. That said, he now faces real competition up front following the recent arrival of Arnaud Kalimuendo.

FEBRUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Trains partially with team Burkardt (calf) was spotted training partially with the team on Tuesday, the club posted.

Impact Burkardt missed all the games since late November due to a calf injury but is progressing well in his recovery since he resumed team training partially on Tuesday.

Impact Burkardt is not going to be with the team for yet another match, as the forward is still to train.

JANUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Still out Burkardt (calf) is out for Friday's match against Dortmund, according to manager Dino Toppmoller.

Impact Burkardt has not been able to recover in the few weeks since the start of the break, as the forward is now set to miss their first match of 2026 due to the injury. This will extend his absence to six games, a rough timeline for the typical starter. Ansgar Knauff should remain their starting forward until Burkardt returns to play.
