Chandler isn't part of the starting XI in any real way, he's played 84 minutes across two seasons in the Bundesliga, but the assist was still a heroic one.

Impact Chandler missed the previous six weeks due to his calf issue but was finally able to get back on the training pitch.

Available as susbtitute Chandler (illness) was named to the match-day squad against Hoffenheim on Wednesday.

Rotational option Chandler made 17 appearances (15 starts) throughout the 2021/22 season.

Impact Chandler continued his role as a rotational option for Frankfurt. The wing-back simply hasn't been a starter since the 2017/18 season, though he still does well when called upon. Chandler has shown the ability to play as a wing-back on either side, giving him decent fantasy upside whenever in the starting XI, though more often than not he will be an unused sub in 2022/23, as he has been for the last three seasons.

Four crosses Monday Chandler sent in four crosses (none accurate) during Monday's 2-0 loss to Leverkusen.

Impact Chandler sent in four crosses during Monday's loss, as well as making two tackles. The wing-back isn't the main option in Frankfurt, and just doesn't do enough on the stat sheet to be a real fantasy option. Chandler isn't worth targeting in the final two Bundesliga matches of the season.
