Frankfurt deal massive blow with center-back injury | OneFootball

The German international started all 20 Bundesliga games this season. But his recent one ended prematurely as he was forced to be substituted off against Wolfsburg in the 15th minute.

The Kaiserslautern-born center-back had a mixed debut season, but he has been in top form since the start of this term. He formed a solid partnership with Arthur Theate and Tuta in Dino Toppmöller’s 3-4-2-1.

Sky Germany report that Frankfurt have no plans to look in the market for a deadline day replacement. Nnamdi Collins could benefit from more game time, while the makeshift left-back Theate will most likely continue playing as a center-back.

Koch will most likely return for Frankfurt’s Round of 16 tie in the Europa League, but he’s going to miss Bundesliga fixtures against Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen this month.
