Toppmöller: Theater Situation Explained

Eintracht Frankfurt coach Dino Toppmöller gave a certain all-clear to Arthur Theate after the 3-3 draw against Borussia Dortmund. But the defender didn’t leave the game completely unscathed.

Theate was substituted shortly after a collision. In this situation nothing happened to the Belgian. “Everything is okay there,” assured Toppmöller. The substitution was not made for that reason, but because his player had previously signaled other complaints: “He indicated a few minutes earlier that he had problems with his foot.”

Toppmöller’s statement gives the impression that it is nothing dramatic. Since Frankfurt is in demand for the Bundesliga restart on Tuesday (away against Stuttgart) in view of the English week, Theate’s situation remains to be monitored.
