Injury plagued Borussia Dortmund travel to Eintracht Frankfurt: Match Preview
By Tushar Bahl
Players to Watch
With Erling Haaland out injured, the pressure will be on Jadon Sancho to step up and make things happen for Borussia Dortmund. The Englishman has struggled for consistency this season and the game against Eintracht Frankfurt could present the perfect opportunity for him to find his form.
Thorgan Hazard is quietly having a very good season, with three goals and three assists to his name in just 533 minutes of action. The Belgian international has been used in a variety of different positions, but has performed well whenever he has played. If he starts on Saturday, expect another consistent performance no matter what position he plays in.
Eintracht Frankfurt’s key man will no doubt be their star striker Andre Silva. The Portugal international has scored 15 goals since the Bundesliga resumed in May after the COVID-19 enforced break. Seven of those goals have come in nine Bundesliga appearances this season. He will certainly be a handful for the Borussia Dortmund defence on Saturday, especially if Mats Hummels isn’t available.
