Final training before flight to Athens

Kristijan Jakic and Sebastian Rode took part in the final training session before the return fixture in Piraeus and are in the squad, but Ajdin Hrustic and Filip Kostic miss out.

Eintracht have a big opportunity to book their place in the UEFA Europa League knockout stage in their own right with a win at Olympiacos FC on Thursday evening. Summer-like temperatures of 24 degrees await the Group D leaders in Piraeus – very different to Frankfurt, where the squad completed their final training session in rainy weather on Wednesday morning.

Among the 20 outfield players involved were Kristijan Jakic and Sebastian Rode, who missed the match against Leipzig at the weekend. However, Ajdin Hrustic and Filip Kostic were unable to work with the team due to knocks and instead did a light individual session. Like Christopher Lenz and Goncalo Paciencia, who remain sidelined, they will not join the flight to Athens this afternoon.
