Eintracht Frankfurt: Kevin Trapp talks about his Bayern loss! | sport

The decision has been made!

BILD reported exclusively: In the top game against Bayern on Sunday (5:30 p.m., DAZN), substitute keeper Kaua Santos (21) is still in the Frankfurt goal and NOT captain Kevin Trapp (34)!

Background: The actual number 1 from Eintracht Frankfurt doesn't feel at 100 percent yet. The decision was made together with doctors and the coaching team. Trapp suffered a muscle injury in his thigh while teeing off in Wolfsburg (2-1) three weeks ago and has been out since then.

“Of course I would have loved to play and the decision wasn't easy.” “But as captain I have a responsibility not only to myself, but above all to the team, which finally led me to this decision,” the goalkeeper explains his Failure.

Trapp continued: “We all worked hard for the comeback and the fact that we were able to discuss playing a game proves that.” I will be able to use the next week’s break to come back in top shape and at 100 percent.”

Just over an hour before the party, Eintracht's assistant coach Stefan Buck confirmed the BILD report and said in Eintracht's Instagram stream after the bus arrived at the stadium: “He did everything he could this week to get fit in time.” You have to I give him a lot of respect for saying that it’s not enough.”

This week Trapp started training again. Head coach Dino Toppmöller (43) when asked on Friday whether Trapp would be in goal again against Bayern: “He has to make the decision, and it is an important decision.” One thing is clear: if he is at 100 percent and we are too have a good feeling, then he will play.”

But the risk of getting injured again is still too great and the season is still long. If the game had been three or four days later, Trapp would probably have played. Now he can use the two-week international break to get really fit. Then Eintracht's regular keeper will be back in the box from the game in Leverkusen (October 19th).

Santos can look forward to his sixth professional appearance against Bayern. The Brazilian was extremely strong in the 3-1 win in the Europa League at Besiktas Istanbul, including saving a penalty. Now he can annoy Bayern too.
