Heading into Friday's Bundesliga game against Borussia Dortmund, Eintracht Frankfurt coach Dino Toppmöller has reportedly decided for a change in goal.

According to Bild, Kaua Santos will start on Friday, with Michael Zetterer dropping to the bench.

Santos returned to action for Eintracht in September after a long recovery from a cruciate ligament injury. 

However, after conceding 18 goals in five games, the Brazilian goalkeeper was replaced by Zetterer. 

Now, he will get another opportunity between the posts.

Update (January 8, 14:49 CET): Toppmöller has confirmed that Kaua Santos will start against Borussia Dortmund.

“Kauã Santos will be in goal tomorrow. He has made a very good impression in this short time before the restart. We are giving him our trust,” he said.
