Overview

  • Kevin Trapp delivered a match-saving performance in his first game back from injury, securing a 0:0 draw against Augsburg with a remarkable late save.
  • The 34-year-old returned to the starting lineup after Kauã Santos suffered a cruciate ligament tear during Frankfurt’s Europa League exit against Tottenham, sidelining the young goalkeeper for at least six months.
  • Sporting director Markus Krösche confirmed there is no long-term plan for the goalkeeper position, with the club focused solely on the final Bundesliga matches and Champions League qualification.
  • Trapp, under contract until mid-2026, expressed empathy for Santos and reaffirmed his commitment to leading Frankfurt through a critical season-ending push.
  • Eintracht Frankfurt remains third in the Bundesliga standings, aiming to secure automatic Champions League entry with four challenging fixtures remaining.
