How does Kevin Trapp (33) cope with this blow to the neck?
What BILD had already reported was now officially announced by national coach Julian Nagelsmann (36): Frankfurt’s goalkeeper will not be taking part in the international matches in France and against Holland. He is even threatened with being eliminated from the European Championship!
“I spoke to Trappo on the phone. Of course he was very disappointed and upset. In the end, it’s all about momentum. Oliver Baumann and Bernd Leno are currently in a bit better shape. They are also a bit more stable at the moment in the way we want to open the game,” said the national coach. And further: “Things will look different towards the European Championships because we are only taking three goalkeepers with us. If Trapp stabilizes again and the other two don’t, then things can be different at the European Championships.”

In plain language: Trapp has to displace two competitors in order to take part in the tournament in Germany.
His first reaction after the Nagelsmann phone call: An Instagram video in Eintracht’s weight room in which the goalkeeper jumps over five high hurdles and hoists a heavy barbell. And writes: “Explosivity on the program today.”
In 2021, ex-national coach Flick also left Frankfurt out of two international matches. It was a lesson! Which Trapp impressively parried in the following game against Bayern. In front of Flick’s eyes, he was world class in Eintracht’s 2-1 win in Munich!
This time it will be much harder for Trapp. The misery began with back problems in February. After that, he started making mistakes. The end of the Conference League was the lowest point for Trapp.
On the other hand, his Eintracht teammate Robin Koch (27) had a good laugh. After three years, the defense chief, who also moved from Leeds to Frankfurt, is now celebrating his comeback for Germany. Even if initially on the bench.
“I don’t see Mats Hummels as the ideal fit for this backup role. With Robin Koch and Waldemar Anton, we have two players who can fill this position better,” explains Nagelsmann. “Robin has matured through his experience abroad. And also with the strongest duel player in the Bundesliga. He goes full throttle in training and can do his part to push others too. He always throws everything into it and wants to lead the way in Frankfurt. It’s a reward for his achievements.”
