Overview

• Santos felt a reaction in his previously injured right knee during a training session in Louisville and returned to Frankfurt for individual training and medical care.
• He originally tore his posterior cruciate ligament in April during the Europa League quarterfinal against Tottenham Hotspur and chose conservative rehab over surgery.
• After resuming full training in June, Santos now faces a fresh setback with a precise diagnosis still pending, according to the club statement.
• His early exit interrupts the expected competition for Eintracht’s No.1 goalkeeper spot against veteran Kevin Trapp.
• Eintracht continues to depend on Trapp for first-team matches while evaluating additional backup options to maintain goalkeeping depth.
