Ndicka Resumes Group Training Ahead of Bologna Clash
Return to Fitness Boost for Frankfurt
Defender Set to Feature in Crucial Serie A Fixture
Eintracht Frankfurt have received a timely boost ahead of their upcoming Serie A clash against Bologna, with Evan Ndicka resuming group training. The French defender had been sidelined since November with a muscle injury but is now back in contention for Saturday's match.
Ndicka's return is a major boost for Frankfurt, who have been struggling defensively in his absence. The 23-year-old is a key figure in Oliver Glasner's side and his return will provide much-needed stability at the back.
Frankfurt are currently 11th in the Serie A standings, but they have a game in hand on most of the teams above them. A win against Bologna would see them move into the top half of the table and boost their chances of qualifying for European competition next season.
Bologna, meanwhile, are 16th in the table and are fighting to avoid relegation. They will be looking to cause an upset against Frankfurt and will be buoyed by the fact that they have won their last two matches.
The match between Frankfurt and Bologna is scheduled to kick off at 3:00 PM CET on Saturday, February 4.
