🚨 Couldn’t be unluckier: Frankfurt reveal Baum’s diagnosis | OneFootball

First he had to wait a long time, then after just a few minutes it was all over again. Elias Baum surely imagined his season debut for Eintracht Frankfurt very differently. His second appearance will be put on hold for now due to injury.

On Saturday, during the away game against HSV, the 20-year-old was substituted in for Rasmus Kristensen in the 71st minute.

But just about 13 minutes later, it was already over for him again. The German youth international had to be substituted out again due to a knock.

This Monday morning, the Eagles announced that the unlucky player has suffered a medial ligament injury in his knee. His injury will be treated conservatively, meaning without surgery, and Baum will be out "until further notice."

A bitter blow for the defender, who caused a stir last season during his loan spell at Elversberg and then decided to stay in the banking city despite numerous offers. Due to strong competition, he has rarely been given a chance by coach Dino Toppmöller so far, and now he will be forced to watch from the sidelines again for the time being.
