Rasmus Kristensen - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Impact Kristensen had only recently been spotted completing his first running sessions on the pitch last week, making his progression to team training a faster turnaround than initially expected. Saturday's clash against Augsburg is likely to come too soon given the limited team training time he has had, but a return in the coming fixtures is now a realistic prospect for the Danish defender. Aurele Amenda and Ritsu Doan have been covering in his absence and may hold their roles for one more game before Kristensen pushes to regain his spot in Frankfurt's lineup during their European push.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Spotted running Tuesday Kristensen (ankle) begun running on grass for the first time as part of his rehabilitation, according to the club.

Impact Kristensen had already been flagged as ahead of schedule in his recovery from the syndesmosis surgery he underwent roughly six weeks ago, and getting back to running is a significant milestone in his rehabilitation. The Danish right-back is still some way from full team training, but the trajectory of his recovery continues to point toward a late-season return that could still make a meaningful impact for Frankfurt's European push. Aurele Amenda and Ritsu Doan have been covering in his absence and will continue to do so while Kristensen builds his way back to full fitness.

Targets late-season return Kristensen (ankle) is progressing ahead of schedule in his recovery and is targeting a return for the final three to four games of the season, he said to the media, according to th...

Impact Kristensen had been feared done for the season after undergoing surgery for a syndesmosis injury sustained roughly six weeks ago, but the 28-year-old Dane is clearly not ready to call it a year just yet. He has already ditched his crutches earlier than expected and is working hard on rebuilding strength, with a potential return around May. 2. against Hamburg now in play. Getting Kristensen back would be a massive boost for Frankfurt's European push in the final stretch, with Aurele Amenda and Ritsu Doan currently filling the void left by one of the Eagles' most important starters since last season.

Could miss rest of season Kristensen (ankle) could miss the rest of the season since he is set to undergo a surgery in the coming days, according to BILD.

Impact Kristensen went down with a serious ankle injury in Saturday's showdown with Gladbach, and follow-up tests confirmed he's headed for surgery. The setback could sideline the defender for the remainder of the campaign with the Eagles, though his 2026 World Cup hopes are still alive for now. Before the injury, Kristensen had been a locked-in starter, making the starting XI in 18 of his 19 Bundesliga outings, chipping in with two goal contributions while stacking up 45 tackles and 55 clearances. With him out of the mix, expect Aurele Amenda to log heavier minutes in the back three, while Ritsu Doan could see an expanded role operating down the right flank.

Set for further examination Kristensen is out for the time being due to an ankle injury, according to his club.

Impact Kristensen will not be an option for the next few weeks, as the defender is set for further examination after an ankle injury. This will be a major loss for the club as they deal without a regular defender, only missing three starts all season when an option. With Arthur Theate also out due to injury, the club will turn to Robin Koch, Aurele Amenda and Nnamdi Collins to start in the center of the defense as they wait on the final examination of Kristensen.

Returns with two chances created Kristensen registered one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Wednesday's 3-2 defeat to Qarabag. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 61st minute.

Impact Kristensen came back from injury and created a pair of chances. The defender is an excellent offensive option, at least when he's allowed to line up at wing-back. If he stays out wide Kristensen likes to get forward and has a strong shot from distance. If he's pushed back to a central defensive role his upside is significantly limited.

Makes starting XI Wednesday Kristensen (face) is in the starting XI for Wednesday's clash against Qarabag.

Impact Kristensen is in the starting XI for Wednesday's match against Qarabag despite suffering a facial injury in Friday's draw against Bremen and will wear a protective mask. The Danish defender remains a locked-in starter, having started each of the last eight matches.

Impact Kristensen suffered a face injury in Friday's draw against Bremen but is doing fine and will be able to play while wearing a mask. The defensive midfield has been an undisputed starter for the eagles this season and his role is unlikely to change under new coach Dennis Schmitt. That said, if he had to start Wednesday's Champions League clash against Qarabag on the bench, Ritsu Doan will likely play on the right flank in a deeper role on the pitch.

JANUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

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.

JANUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

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.

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

Nets in draw Kristensen scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and three crosses (one accurate) in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus FC Heidenheim.

Impact Kristensen found the back of the net during Saturday's draw, making the most of his only shot. The wing-back has been limited going forward as Frankfurt try to establish a different identity after struggling defensively. The goal is a nice return for Kristensen, who should remain an untouchable part of the starting XI.

Nets smoothly Kristensen scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Wednesday's 5-1 defeat versus Liverpool.

Impact Kristensen scored on his only foray forward during Wednesday's loss. It was a brilliant finish on a nice pass from Mario Gotze, but it was the only chance he had to get forward. The right-back has plenty of offensive upside, but Frankfurt have been horrendous defensively in recent weeks, putting more pressure on Kristensen to stay back.

Gets the call against Freiburg Kristensen (strain) is in the XI to face Freiburg on Sunday.

Impact Kristensen has recovered from an injury that sidelined him for five weeks and is starting right away like in the first three rounds, during which he posted three shots (one on target), three key passes, four crosses (two accurate) and seven tackles (six won), with no clean sheets.

Impact Kristensen has been battling a strain for a few weeks, but is already ready for his return after the international break, as the defender has been cleared and is ready for starting time immediately. This is massive news for the Frankfurt backline, as he started in their first three games of the season before his injury. He will likely then see his starting role at right-back Saturday, with Buta or Nnamdi Collins (illness) as other options.

OCTOBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Viewed training Kristensen (strain) was back in training Tuesday, according to his club.

Impact Kristensen has been sidelined for the past five games due to a strain, but is finally nearing a return, with the defender training during the international break. This is good news, as he could see a return when facing Freiburg on Oct. 19 after the break. He started in their opening two games of the season at right-back and should return to that spot once fit.

OCTOBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not quite ready Kristensen (strain) isn't an option for Saturday's clash with Bayern Munich, according to manager Dino Toppmoller.

Impact Kristensen isn't an option Saturday, despite earlier reports he would try and return before the international break. He did take part in some portions of training, but he wasn't deemed fit enough to play. Nnamdi Collins should get another start at right-back with Kristensen still out.

Eyeing return against Bayern Kristensen (strain) is eyeing a return against Bayern Munich on Oct. 4, according to manager Dino Toppmoller. "Rasmus is not an issue for Saturday and Tuesday; we may be able to c...

Impact Ktistensen has not been an option due to a strain and will remain out two more matches, missing against Gladbach on Staurday and Atletico Madrid on Tuesday. However, he is now eyeing a return against Bayern Munich on Oct. 4, appearing to be trending towards that date. If fit, he will look to reclaim his starting spot at left-back immediately.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Likely out until October Kristensen (strain) is set to miss out until the end of September due to a muscle injury, according to Bild.de.

Impact Kristensen was confirmed to have suffered a muscle injury and is now set to miss a period of time with the injury, as the defender will look for a return following the end of the month. This is tough for the club, as he is a starter at right-back, set to miss two to three more games while out. Nnamdi Collins will likely continue to see the start at right-back until Kristensen returns.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Muscle injury confirmed Kristensen is out for the time being due to a muscle injury he suffered in Friday's 3-1 loss to Leverkusen, according to his club.

Impact Kristensen will be unavailable for a bit of time after he suffered an injury Friday, with a muscle injury now having been confirmed. This could keep him out for a week or two, although the club has yet to announce the severity. He is a regular starter at right-back, so this could be a major loss, with Nathaniel Brown as a possible replacement

SEPTEMBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers injury early Kristensen was forced off the field in the 10th minute of Friday's match against Frankfurt due to an apparent injury.

Impact Kristensen was treated only 10 minutes into the match Friday, with the defender picking up an apparent injury. This could be a brutal loss for the club after he has started in all three games this season, with UCL play starting Thursday as well. He was replaced by Nathaniel Brown, a likely replacement moving forward if Kristensen remains out.

Impact Kristensen ended the Bundesliga campaign on a brilliant note with a goal and assist. The right-back had a mixed season in role and form, but he caught fire in the final three matches. Frankfurt have already secured a permanent move for the right-back, who was brilliant throughout his loan spell from Leeds.

Impact Kristensen found the back of the net during Sunday's draw, a rare goal for the defender. He isn't the most attacking of the Frankfurt defenders, even slotting into center-back at times. His constant movement around the starting XI heavily impacts his upside week-to-week.

MAY 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scores with lone shot Kristensen scored a goal with his lone shot while crossing once inaccurately and making 12 clearances during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Mainz.

Impact Kristensen found the back of the net in the 16th minute to open the scoring in the match while leading Frankfurt with 12 clearances. The goal was the first since March 16th for Kristensen who has combined for three shots, a chance created and seven crosses over his last three appearances.

MAY 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Mainz Kristensen (strain) is in the starting lineup for Sunday's clash with Mainz.

Impact Kristensen has returned straight into the initial squad after missing only one game due to the injury. He's expected to feature as a wing-back, a position in which he could rack up a few crosses, but perhaps he'll remain more reliable for his league averages of 4.6 duels won and 2.0 tackles per game. His comeback to the starting lineup leaves Nnamdi Collins among the substitutes this time.
