Frankfurt playing a full strength side today

[Mount_Bear]

Away to local rivals Mainz at 2:30pm. Toure for Hinteregger (injured) is the only change from their starting lineup against West Ham in the semi second leg.

Trapp

Tuta Toure N'Dicka

Knauff Rode Sow Kostic

Hauge Borre Kamada

 

[student_loyal]

Local rivals you say?

Hopefully Mainz get stuck right in then

 

[Loud and proud]

Fingers crossed for a few hamstring injuries then.

 

[Commander Bjorklund]

Just posted in the match thread, a very strong team. Meanwhile our kids are strolling it against Hearts.

 

[Coza]

Can work two ways. They tick legs over and are sharp for Wednesday. Or they pick up knocks and put extra minutes in the legs they don’t need to.

 

[Partickger]

You’ll probably find the opposition will play the game in Germany if this is a dead rubber.

Unlike Scotland where you have absolute no-marks actively trying to put our players out of the final.

 

[Fitba Juice]

Stat: Frankfurt have failed to win half of their Bundesliga matches when scoring first this season.

Unless 11 Austrians plying their trade in German football.

Nothing riding on the game whatsoever. Think it's a local rivalry in the way that Real Madrid v Rayo Vallecano is a local rivalry, though I stand to be corrected.

If Borre and Kamada fancy being stretchered off today I wouldn't be against that.

Trapp

Tuta Toure N'Dicka

Knauff Rode Sow Kostic

Hauge Borre Kamada

Good news for us i would say

 

[Jorg Albertz]

Hope they are kicked to shreds and pick up plenty of injuries

Mainz v Frankfurt is a pretty intense Derby so Mainz will get stuck in

 

[SamTheBear91]

Mainz win, few injuries……… too much to ask for

 

[Mount_Bear]

Is this on TV anywhere ?

No. Sky showing a bunch of the Bundesliga games on red button but this isn't one unfortunately.

Have you watched their derby matches before? I don’t think there is much love lost between these two so expect some meaty tackles.

 

[RFC1976]

The more injuries the better please

 

[Est1872]

Hamstrings tearing like cheese strings please

That's good news, I thought it was one of the tame ones. Will watch this hoping for a heavy physical battle.

 

[FriendsDontLie]

Be keeping an eye on this one

 

[Artful Dodger]

That's good news, I thought it was one of the tame ones. Will watch this hoping for a heavy physical battle.

Don’t like one another and I think big Leon played for Mainz he has previously said he’d be getting stuck into them.

A couple of ACLs to go would not be unwelcome.

 

[brain]

Brilliant.

 

[Jules Winfield]

A couple of ACLs to go would not be unwelcome.

No need for that I’ll settle for a twisted ankle with a fortnight out

 

[Solmask]

Borrusia Dortmund game is streaming on Sky's YouTube channel if anyone is interested .

 

[The Crimson King]

Wouldn't wish any big injuries on their players at all.

But a few wee twinges that put them out for at least 7 days wouldn't go amiss.

 

[Bradbo88]

Tongue firmly in cheek

 

[Abacab]

Fingers crossed for a few hamstring injuries then.

I want broken legs
