Borussia Facing Eintracht Frankfurt: Theate's Bundesliga Start
Borussia Meeting Eintracht Frankfurt on Bundesliga Turf
Frankfurt/Main (dpa) - Eintracht Frankfurt’s new signing Arthur Theate stands poised for his inaugural Bundesliga match against Borussia Dortmund this Saturday (6:30 PM/Sky). “Arthur is definitely a candidate for the starting lineup,” said Frankfurt’s coach Dino Toppmöller. The 24-year-old defender joined the Hessen team on loan from the French club Stade Rennes just last week. “I want to see how the training goes,” Toppmöller added regarding Theate's possible debut.
Ekitiké's Form Boosts Starting Chances
In the attack, Hugo Ekitiké is likely to lead, having performed stably, netting two goals and assisting another in last week's DFB-Pokal victory over Braunschweig. Toppmöller noted Ekitiké “has the edge”. Ahead of the top clash in Dortmund, Eintracht aims to play aggressively, recognizing the strong potential of Borussia’s squad. “Anyone who has seen their reinforcements understands the season goals for BVB,” remarked Toppmöller.
