Frankfurt Hands No. 1 Gloves to Zetterer as Trapp Reemerges at FC Paris

Recent missteps prompted turns toward steadier veteran options in both goals.

Overview

  • Eintracht dropped 22-year-old Kaua Santos after his late error in the 2-2 draw at Freiburg.
  • Michael Zetterer has taken over in Frankfurt, earning praise from Dino Toppmöller for composure and stabilizing the defense.
  • Kevin Trapp left Eintracht in the summer for FC Paris on a three-year deal as the intended backup to Obed Nkambadio.
  • Paris coach Stéphane Gilli recently started Trapp, whose highly rated display in a 1-0 win at Monaco has opened the door to a longer run in the side.
  • Trapp said he contacted Santos to offer encouragement and stated he does not regret moving to Paris, while Frankfurt still view Santos as a long-term option.
