Éric Junior Dina-Ebimbe did not miss the Bundesliga game against 1. FC Heidenheim on Sunday due to an injury. As head coach Dino Toppmöller explained at the press conference after the 2-0 win, the central midfielder’s recent performances were no longer suitable. Dina-Ebimbe was given pause for thought.
“With Junior I have to say that I didn’t agree with him and his performances in the last two games as far as the investment is concerned. We all know that he is a player who has a lot of potential. But it’s primarily about the willingness to invest everything when I step on the pitch. Not just for myself, but for my teammates. That’s what I ask of him and that’s what he has to do. Then he is an extremely important player for us. And if you don’t do that, then other people will play.”
In the 22-year-old’s absence, his teammates did a good job: “When I see how the boys exhausted themselves, how everyone was on fire and how Buta celebrated for a tackle: That’s exactly what we want to see also need. He is therefore cordially invited to get back into training next week.”
After the international break, Eintracht Frankfurt continues with a guest appearance at TSG Hoffenheim. It remains to be seen whether Dina-Ebimbe will qualify for the starting eleven again…
