Ansgar Knauff's comeback before the World Cup break was predicted, and it has happened. The midfielder is back in team training after overcoming a thigh injury.
The match against his club Borussia Dortmund on Saturday is still too early for him, though.
"Ansgar was on the training ground for the first time today," said Oliver Glasner said on Friday.
"For me, 30 minutes of team training is too short and too little preparation,"
"I'm not going to take him with me tomorrow,"
"For Tuesday I'm happy to get an alternative with him again,"
On 20 January 2022, Knauff joined Eintracht Frankfurt on an eighteen-month loan deal. Knauff scored his first goal for Eintracht on 5 March 2022 in a 4–1 victory against Hertha BSC.
