The Eagles return to training exactly one month after the end of the 2019/20 Bundesliga season. Two individual performance diagnostic sessions are scheduled for Monday and Tuesday, before the first full team training session is held on Wednesday at 18:00 CEST at the Deutsche Bank Park.
Eintracht will face FC Basel in the return leg of their UEFA Europa League last-16 tie on 6 August, hoping to overturn a 3-0 deficit from the first leg. Eintracht’s first and only friendly ahead of that fixture will take place on Saturday 1 August, when they take on eight-time French champions Monaco at the Deutsche Bank Park (kick-off 18:00 CEST).
Summer signing Ragnar Ache will meet his new teammates this week, including Aymen Barkok, Simon Falette, Dejan Joveljic, Tuta, Jetro Willems and Rodrigo Zalazar, who have all returned to Frankfurt following loan spells elsewhere.
