Jeremie Bordin Maluze is one of the new stars who emerged for Eintracht Frankfurt at the beginning of this season, but the defender now has to wait patiently. Injuries have temporarily sidelined him.

On Saturday, Eintracht Frankfurt will host Freiburg, who remain undefeated after three rounds. However, Maluze will miss this match. The reason for the 21-year-old's absence from the squad is not his recent performance, but an injury he sustained last weekend in Eintracht Frankfurt's 3-1 victory over Mainz, their first win of the season.

The club announced on Thursday that Maluze has a leg injury. It is currently unclear how long he will be out. Eintracht Frankfurt stated that Maluze will be unavailable for the time being.

This is terrible timing for Maluze. He was originally slated to play for Eintracht Frankfurt II in the Hessenliga and also had the opportunity to prove himself in the first team due to Collins' absence, but now he has been interrupted by injury.

In two of the three league matches, Maluze started on the right side of the three-man defense and performed quite well (Kicker average rating 3.00). In the match against Mainz, he also assisted Burkhardt for the 2-0 goal. He also got a chance to play for the first team in the DFB-Pokal.
