Sasa Kalajdzic injury blow for Eintracht Frankfurt

The 26-year-old striker has suffered a severe knee injury, as confirmed by the club on Monday. It has been diagnosed as a rupture of the cruciate and lateral ligaments in his right knee, ruling him out for an estimated period of over six months and prematurely ending his Bundesliga season.

The timing couldn't be worse for Frankfurt, especially considering Kalajdzic's recent loan move from Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The Austrian international was brought in during the winter transfer window to bolster the team's attacking options. Unfortunately, this setback marks the third cruciate ligament injury in Kalajdzic's career, having previously experienced similar issues with his left knee in 2019 and 2022.

The club now face uncertainty regarding the impact of Kalajdzic's absence on their season, as they had high hope for his goal-scoring prowess. Fans will be anxiously awaiting updates on his recovery progress and the implications for his loan agreement with Eintracht Frankfurt.
