Knauff's full‑training return lifts Frankfurt ahead of Freiburg

Ansgar Knauff, the 24‑year‑old right winger, joined a full‑team training session on Tuesday, marking a major step towards his Eintracht Frankfurt return after a thigh‑muscle injury kept him out of recent action. The session follows his on‑field celebration at the WWK‑Arena in Augsburg on April 25, when Frankfurt opened the Bundesliga match with a goal.

Training milestone and injury update

The Tuesday.The session in AUGSBURG, GERMANY saw Knauff complete the full programme without any reported setbacks, indicating he has regained the required fitness levels. The Tuesday session followed the APRIL 25 match at the WWK‑Arena.

He had missed the previous fixtures while recovering from a front‑thigh muscle strain, a problem that kept him out of the squad for several weeks.

Frankfurt’s medical staff have said his return to full training raises the likelihood of a place in the matchday squad for the Saturday clash, although the club has not yet confirmed his availability.

The team travel to face SC Freiburg on Saturday, a Bundesliga meeting that follows the earlier clash with FC Augsburg at the WWK‑Arena, and could benefit from Knauff’s pace on the right wing.

His availability would give the coaching staff another attacking option as Frankfurt prepare for the Freiburg fixture.

The final decision will depend on his response to training and his physical condition before Saturday’s fixture.
