“It’s always difficult against Frankfurt, especially in Frankfurt,” Hjulmand emphasised at the start of his press conference on Friday. “Both wins lately have been very good for us. They were very important. Now we’ve got another important game ahead of us. We’re going there to build on our good performances and to bring a win back to Leverkusen.” Victory in Frankfurt would take Leverkusen eight points ahead of their opponent, with a game in hand as well.
Eintracht are without a win in seven games across all competitions. Dennis Schmitt has been in charge since the dismissal of Dino Toppmöller in the middle of January. “It doesn’t many anything more difficult or easier. It’s the same,” Hjulmand explained. “You never know how a match will go, so our focus is fully on our game, our football and our performance.”
Asked about Edmond Tapsoba and Exequiel Palacios and their search for full fitness, Hjulmand added, “Eddy is a player with great experience, good passing and good presence in both boxes. He and Pala are both ready for more minutes. There’s lots of chances for that in the coming weeks.”
Schick was also the topic of discussion from the media, with the Dane saying of his Czech striker, “He may not have scored this year, but he’s performed well. He was very important in our play. The goals will come, for sure.” Will he now break his 2026 duck in Frankfurt?
