Eintracht Frankfurt’s Can Uzun Sidelined for Weeks With Hamstring Injury

The club says earlier benchings reflected load management to protect the player.

Overview

  • Uzun left the 1–1 draw at Heidenheim after about 26 minutes clutching his left hamstring.
  • An MRI confirmed a muscle injury that is expected to keep him out for several weeks with a likely return in December.
  • Coach Dino Toppmöller said the team tried to manage his minutes and that Uzun is not yet ready for a three‑day match rhythm.
  • A BILD report, cited by Kreiszeitung, suggested the player may not have heeded earlier muscular warning signs, a claim not confirmed by the club.
  • Uzun had been a key attacker with six goals and four assists, making his absence a notable sporting and emotional blow during a difficult run for Eintracht.
