Given green light Koch (undisclosed) is an option for Saturday's match against Hamburger, according to manager Dino Toppmoller.

Impact Koch is going to avoid the sidelines as he heads into Saturday's match, with the defender deemed fit despite leaving the field early in their last outing. This is massive news for the club, as he is a regular starter in the defense, likely to return to that spot immediately now that he is an option again.

Leaves field early Koch was forced off the field in the 61st minute of Saturday's 1-0 win over Augsburg due to an apparent injury.

Impact Koch had to leave the field Saturday as his club now awaits testing, hoping whatever injury he suffered is only minor. That said, he has yet to miss a start all season, so this is something to monitor. With one game until the winter break, it remains unknown if they will risk him in that match, with Nnamdi Collins or Aurele Amenda as possible replacements if he misses out.

DECEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Three shots in draw Koch recorded three shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against FC Heidenheim.

Impact Koch took three shots, an odd return for a center-back who was oddly active going forward. Frankfurt couldn't breakdown Heidenheim to earn the win, but Koch was active on both sides of the pitch throughout. It's been a tough start to the season for Koch and Frankfurt, but he remains a big part of the starting XI, and should have a stable role in the team throughout.
