Overview

• Sporting director Markus Krösche said Santos is fully fit and confirmed him as Eintracht’s first-choice goalkeeper going forward.
• Santos started in the 3–4 loss to Union Berlin after 151 days out, conceded four, and drew coverage noting key saves and limited culpability.
• Coach Dino Toppmöller said the No. 1 plan was set before Michael Zetterer’s arrival, with reports linking that stance to Kevin Trapp’s move to Paris.
• The club plans for Santos to start across competitions, with Zetterer moved to the bench and potential minutes likely confined to domestic cup matches.
• Frankfurt’s broader issue is defensive fragility, with nine league goals conceded in four matches and individual errors singled out in analysis.
