Eintracht begin Leipzig preparations | OneFootball

Preparations for the final match of the season got off to a promising start as the Eagles look to secure sixth place, knowing their destiny is in their own hands.

Twenty-five players completed a rigorous training session on Tuesday morning to kick off preparations for the home clash against Leipzig. Among the 21 outfield players were Sebastian Rode and Makoto Hasebe, who are in the last week of their professional careers, as well as Nnamdi Collins, who had been training individually recently following a knee injury sustained at the start of the month.

However, Philipp Max was absent due to a cold, while Donny van de Beek continues to receive treatment for his heel problem. Éric Junior Dina Ebimbe, who came off after an hour at Mönchengladbach with a calf problem, took part as normal.

After two days off, the squad now have one session each day until Friday. Then from 15:30 CEST on 18 May, in front of 58,000 spectators, it will be a case of: all together for sixth place!
