Eintracht’s Can Uzun Leaves Heidenheim Match Early With Left-Thigh Concern

The 19-year-old’s status remains unclear, prompting worry given recent load management after preseason thigh problems.

Overview

  • Uzun went down after a midfield duel with Jan Schöppner around the 24th minute and immediately held his left thigh.
  • Mario Götze replaced the Turkish international, who left the pitch visibly distressed in the first half.
  • Eintracht Frankfurt drew 1–1 at Heidenheim, with Budu Zivzivadze opening the scoring and Rasmus Kristensen equalising.
  • The club has not released a diagnosis, leaving the extent of the injury and any timeline for return unknown.
  • Uzun has been a breakout performer this season with six goals and four assists, and coach Dino Toppmöller has highlighted recurring thigh issues managed through controlled minutes.
