In temperatures of just four degrees Celsius, Eintracht’s players were wrapped up warm for their final training session ahead of their last UEFA Europa League group match against Fenerbahce. Despite the bitter cold, the Eagles were in no mood to take it easy as they look to book their place in the last 16 of the competition. Head coach Oliver Glasner had a near full-strength squad to choose from, with only Jesper Lindström having to finish early due to a minor muscle problem. The Dane will stay in Frankfurt to recover while his teammates depart for Istanbul on Wednesday afternoon.
Eagles travelling with SunExpress
The Frankfurt party will be travelling in style, with premium partners SunExpress providing an aircraft for the journey to Turkey. The Eagles, who are due to arrive at around 7pm local time (17:00 CET), will seal their place in the round of 16 if they avoid defeat at Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium.
