Eintracht Frankfurt have made some changes to the Bundesliga team’s regular schedule.
Accordingly, training has been suspended for the coming week, with the players receiving individual training programmes to keep themselves fit, while staying in contact with the coaching team.

In addition to their own personal regimes, the players can also use the gym and training facilities at the Commerzbank-Arena. As of now, these will be disinfected and cleaned by a specialist cleaning company on a daily basis. On Tuesday, the entire team will undergo a lactate test.

Other members of the first-team staff, including coaches, managers, analysts and kitmen will guarantee a professional daily routine. 

Furthermore, each day the team will be offered breakfast, lunch and dinner to take away in order to avoid going to restaurants.



Players to stay in home environment

As an additional measure, players and backroom staff have been instructed not to travel, and to stay within their own home environments. The players will have a day off on Sunday 15 March, with the next full team training session planned for Monday 23 March.




Fredi Bobic: “Extraordinary situation requires extraordinary measures”




“It’s an extraordinary situation, which requires extraordinary measures from us,” said board member Fredi Bobic. “Apart from their families, the boys should refrain from seeing their social contacts over the coming days. Our foreign players can’t travel or go back to their homelands. We’ll make a decision how to proceed in the coming weeks depending on any reassessments of the current situation.”
