Out with calf injury Pellegrini will miss Saturday's clash against FC Schalke after suffering a blow to his calf, Eintracht manager Oliver Glasner announced Friday.

Returns in Pokal Pellegrini (thigh) played 10 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 2-0 win over Stuttgarter Kickers in the DFB Pokal.

Won't play Wednesday Pellegrini will miss Wednesday's trip to Tottenham Hotspur due to a thigh injury.

Impact Pellegrini played for 78 minutes in Saturday's loss to Bochum but is now dealing with another injury-related absence.

Five shots in win Pellegrini had five shots (zero on target), two crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Union Berlin.

Impact Pellegrini was back in the starting XI at left wing back after missing some time earlier in September due to a thigh injury. He didn't formally find the score sheet in this one, but he took a number of dangerous touches and contributed at least indirectly to both of his squad's two goals. He subbed off in the 71st minute for rest purposes. He should retain useful fantasy value as long as he remains one of the preferred Eintracht set piece options.

Returns to training pitch Pellegrini (thigh) took part in Tuesday's training session.

Impact Pellegrini has missed the club's previous two contests due to his thigh problem but appears to be trending in the right direction.

Still limited in training Pellegrini (thigh) remains limited ahead of Saturday's trip to Stuttgart, according to manager Oliver Glasner.

Impact Pellegrini made his debut with Frankfurt after joining from Juventus with Filip Kostic going the other way.

Despite that he has some large shoes to fill with Frankfurt on loan for the remainder of the 2022/23 season.

Impact Pellegrini led his team in crosses and was pretty active in the final third, but he also picked up his fifth yellow card of the season, triggering a one-game suspension. Juventus should have a few returns from injury during the break, especially Alex Sandro (calf), Manuel Locatelli (COVID-19) and Denis Zakaria (thigh), which will allow Danilo to move back to fullback. Juventus will face Inter at home after the break.

MARCH 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Lively against Empoli Pellegrini sent in three crosses (two accurate), created two scoring chances, won three of four tackles and drew two fouls in Saturday's 3-2 win over Empoli.
