Eintracht Frankfurt's Can Uzun ruled out with muscular injury
Eintracht Frankfurt will be without 19-year-old playmaker talent Can Uzun for a while after he sustained an injury in his club's Matchday 9 encounter at Heidenheim.
Uzun was seen clutching his left thigh in the 1-1 draw at Heidenheim and had to be replaced in the 26th minute by Mario Götze.
Frankfurt confirmed the following day that the playmaker, who has five goals and three assists so far this season, will be out until further notice due to a muscular injury.
Watch: Uzun flying for Frankfurt
The Eagles will therefore depart for a big UEFA Champions League clash away at Napoli on Tuesday (6.45pm CET) without Uzun on board, and are likely to plan without him ahead of hosting Mainz on Sunday (7.30pm CET) in their final match before the November international break.
