Eintracht, meanwhile, announced on Tuesday that midfielder Oscar Hojlund is sidelined “for the time being” with a thigh muscle injury.
He joins defender Elias Baum on the hosts’ injury list, with Dino Toppmoller reporting that otherwise “the personnel situation generally looks good… we have everyone [else] onboard.”
Speaking at his pre-match press conference, the Eintracht head coach confirmed Michael Zetterer will replace Kaua Santos in goal.
The Bundesliga outfit have conceded 24 times in their 10 games so far in 2025-26 and Toppmoller said: “The number of goals conceded recently was too high, but that didn’t have much to do with the goalkeeper.
“It’s always about the team, and that will be the deciding factor tomorrow and in the coming weeks.”
On facing a Liverpool side seeking to respond to four consecutive defeats, he added: “They’ve been the better team in every game recently and have had the better chances. We’ll face a world-class team tomorrow.”
