Oliver Glasner (47) outshone his severe facial scratches with a charming laugh!
“We said we were going to blur the picture so that you wouldn’t be frightened about my blue eyes,” the Eintracht trainer joked at the virtual press conference in the direction of the reporter.
Glasner fell on his e-scooter in downtown Frankfurt on New Year’s Eve and even had to undergo an operation after a cheekbone fracture.
Glasner also fights with his black eye in the blast on Saturday (6.30 p.m.) against Dortmund – but his own injury is his smallest problem.
The Ösi reassured: “I’m really fine. I’ve been back with the team since Tuesday, so I haven’t missed anything. The cheek is still a bit thick and the eyes are blue. That didn’t shake me, I was just annoyed by my inattention. “
The much bigger problem: After three players had just left the quarantine with Paciência, Jakic and replacement goalkeeper Grahl, there are now two new corona cases.
In addition to substitute defender Danny da Costa (28), super sprinter Jesper Lindstrøm (21) was also caught. With six appearances in the last six games, the Dane was THE face of the final sprint in the first half of the season.
Glasner: “Jesper was in very good shape. But we have a broad squad. It’s important to me that we don’t keep talking about the players who are not there. “
One of the replacement candidates: Storm talent Ragnar Ache (23)!
