Patrick Bergmann damages knee ligaments — 41 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 41 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Cup progress for Eintracht Frankfurt
A 4‑3 win over VfB Stuttgart, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Tim Herrmann wins it after the whistle should have gone
93 minutes played. Tim Herrmann found the finish in time that only existed because of earlier delays, and VfB Stuttgart went from a point to nothing inside one movement.

Tim Herrmann scores twice — 9.52
Two goals and a mark of 9.52 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Age has not caught Cassiano Kiala yet — 8.34
At 35 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.34 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Tempers go at Eintracht Frankfurt
Matteo Davide Villa was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
Match23 Jan 2044
Eintracht Frankfurt cannot stop winning
3 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.
