Denmark international Rasmus Kristensen has become a key figure for Eintracht Frankfurt this season, consistently delivering strong performances.

Leeds United loanee Rasmus Kristensen has suffered a frustrating injury setback while playing for Eintracht Frankfurt. The Denmark international right-back was forced off early in the weekend match against Union Berlin due to a thigh muscle tweak. Frankfurt has confirmed he’ll be sidelined for “coming weeks,” with German outlet Bild suggesting he’ll miss Denmark’s next international fixtures. Kristensen could potentially return on November 23 against Werder Bremen, though Frankfurt is cautious about confirming a timeline.

Eintracht Frankfurt manager Dino Toppmöller expressed regret over Rasmus Kristensen’s thigh injury, admitting he had considered resting him before the match. “I’m annoyed with myself,” Toppmöller said, noting Kristensen’s busy schedule with both club and national duties. The setback disrupts a promising season for Kristensen, who has played 12 times for Frankfurt across competitions. Reports from Germany suggest that Frankfurt may look to make the 27-year-old’s loan move permanent, having valued his contributions. Kristensen, signed by Leeds United for £10m in 2022, hasn’t featured for the club since their relegation, spending last season on loan with Roma in Serie A, where he made 31 appearances.
