Frankfurt’s New Keeper Zetterer Poised for Champions League Bow vs. Galatasaray

The 30-year-old arrives from Werder Bremen to compete with Kaua Santos following Kevin Trapp’s departure.

Overview

  • Michael Zetterer has started Eintracht Frankfurt’s first three Bundesliga matches since his recent move.
  • He described the Champions League as the pinnacle and said he is excited for Thursday’s meeting with Galatasaray.
  • The decision over the No. 1 role with the now-fit Kaua Santos remains internal, with local reports suggesting Zetterer is likely to start on Thursday.
  • He joined from Werder Bremen for a fee reported at around €5 million and was signed to replace Kevin Trapp, who moved to Paris FC.
  • The Munich-born goalkeeper overcame major hand injuries and loan spells, earned a distance-learning diploma in football management, and attributes his resurgence partly to lifestyle changes.
