The Eintracht Frankfurt Gazette
Player ratings15 Feb 2027
Rodrigo De Paul scores twice — 8.37
Two goals and a mark of 8.37 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.
Loan watch15 Feb 2027
The goals keep arriving from Jessic Ngankam’s exile
18 goals in 17 games at Wolfsberger AC — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at Eintracht Frankfurt updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.
Squad15 Feb 2027
A falling-out at Eintracht Frankfurt
Mario Götze and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Squad15 Feb 2027
Words at Eintracht Frankfurt training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Rodrigo De Paul is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Mauricio Medrano gets the move he always wanted
Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Mauricio Medrano has just signed for Eintracht Frankfurt, and for once the answer mattered.
Boardroom15 Feb 2027
Eintracht Frankfurt beat the market to Sven Ulreich from Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Sven Ulreich has pre-agreed a move to Eintracht Frankfurt, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.
Match13 Feb 2027
Eintracht Frankfurt get the job done against RB Leipzig
A 2‑1 win over RB Leipzig, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.
The dugout15 Feb 2027
The team sheet said everything about Farès Chaïbi
Warm-up bib, ninety minutes of watching, and a handshake at the end that fooled nobody. Big matches tell you who a manager trusts; this one told Farès Chaïbi.
The dugout15 Feb 2027
A promise honoured for Arnaud Kalimuendo
It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Eintracht Frankfurt told Arnaud Kalimuendo something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.
In brief
- The dugout Arnaud Kalimuendo is still paying for one afternoon at Eintracht Frankfurt
- The dugout Farès Chaïbi dropped after a run of poor form
- Player ratings Arnaud Kalimuendo will replay that one
