Unexpectedly, Eintracht Frankfurt left Ansgar Knauff out of the lineup for the 1-1 draw with VfL Bochum.
Coach Dino Toppmöller opted to put Kaua Santos, a third goalkeeper, in the 20-man squad while the attacking winger remained at home.
According to Bild this decision was purely performance-related and was unrelated to an injury. Knauff participated in two games for the German U21 team during the international break.
The non-consideration may have included, among other reasons, the receipt for his sending off from the second matchday following his single starting eleven appearance to date against Mainz when he was dismissed after an hour with a second card.
In addition, the 21-year-old still doesn't seem to be fully recovered from the fractured collarbone that sidelined him from mid-June to early-August. After all, Kicker claims that Knauff puts in additional hours to get in shape.
