Frankfurt have suffered a similar decline in form lately, falling to seventh in the Bundesliga and winning just one of their last five matches in all competitions.

Jeremie Frimpong completed less than 20 minutes of Liverpool ’s Champions League meeting with Eintracht Frankfurt after suffering what appeared to be a fresh hamstring injury.

Eintracht have conceded more goals than any other team in the Bundesliga this season but are also the second-highest scorers in the German top flight.
