Ritsu Doan - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Set for return Doan is no longer suspended and is an option for his club again.

Impact Doan had to miss the club's last contest due to a yellow card ban, but is now set for his return, as the ban has been served. This will give the club back a regular starter for the final two games of the season, recording five goals and five assists in 29 appearances (26 starts) this season.

Set to miss Hamburger match Doan is set to be suspended after accumulating five yellow cards in the Bundesliga.

Impact Doan scored in the 66th minute but picked up his fifth yellow card in the Bundesliga and is now suspended for the match against Hamburger on May 2. The Japanese forward had been playing a rotational role in recent matches, so his absence is unlikely to be heavily felt, with Paul Love Arrhov or Fares Chaibi likely to fill the role until he returns.

Fit again Doan (illness) is not amongst the injury list and is an option for play again.

Impact Doan is back in the mix for Saturday after an illness left him out of the last match, with the midfielder fit again. This comes after he started to train this week, being cautious and not playing in Conference League play, but still fit for the weekend. Before the illness, he started in three straight games, likely to continue in that role now that he is fit.

APRIL 17 • ROTOWIRE

Slowly integrated after illness Doan is being gradually reintegrated into team training after his illness and is on track to return for Saturday's clash against Leipzig, according to the club.

Impact Doan had been ruled out of the Wolfsburg fixture due to the illness, but his return to training is a welcome development for Frankfurt heading into this week's fixture. The Japanese winger has been one of the Eagles' most consistent performers this season with four goals and five assists across 28 league appearances, and getting him back into the fold gives coach Albert Riera his regular starter back on the flank for a crucial fixture in their European push.

Dealing with illness Doan is dealing with an illness and is doubtful for Saturday's game at Wolfsburg, according to manager Albert Riera.

Impact Doan didn't participate in Thursday's training session due to an illness, and the upcoming hours will be key to determining whether the winger will be able to suit up this weekend. Doan has been a regular for Frankfurt this season, starting in all but two of his 28 league appearances while tallying four goals and five assists.

APRIL 10 • ROTOWIRE

Strong volume in win Doan had three shots (zero on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 1-0 victory over FC Heidenheim.

Impact Doan produced plenty of volume throughout Saturday's clash, but failed to convert on his chances. He also took a minor role on set-pieces that can help raise his floor. He's been solid this season, but hasn't quite been as efficient as could be hoped on good volume. Doan will hope to build on the volume as Frankfurt's attack gets healthy in the back half of the campaign.

MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE

Busy on set-pieces Doan registered one shot (zero on goal), seven crosses (two accurate) and six corners in Saturday's 3-1 loss against Hoffenheim.

Impact Doan didn't get much going throughout Saturday's loss, but he was busy on set-pieces throughout. The winger sent in six corners and whipped in seven crosses, but just couldn't find the heads of his team. It was a good volume performance, but the loss and a disappointing return means he was left without any goal contributions. Doan should continue in a large volume role moving forward.

JANUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

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

Nets in win Doan scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 1-0 victory against FC Augsburg.

Impact Doan was back among the goals during Saturday's win, slotting home for the only goal of the clash. The winger got off to a slow start in Frankfurt but has come into his own in recent weeks. If Doan can continue to grow into his role with Frankfurt he will have plenty of upside in the back half of the season in what projects as a solid attacking group.

Assists from the wing Doan assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 4-3 victory over 1. FC Koln.

Impact Doan has been the lest productive part of a shining Frankfurt attack this season, but he got back in the goal contributions Saturday with an assist. The winger continues to improve with his new club and has the potential for double-digit goal contributions if he can hold onto this role in the starting XI. Frankfurt are set for some rotation during the busy December period of the campaign.

He then set up Can Uzun's 51st-minute finish to make it 3-0 before coming off late in the game. Doan added two shots, two chances created and two crosses to his totals of four shots, four chances created and nine crosses in his first two games with the Eagles in the Bundesliga.
