Adi Hütter unable to put an exact time frame on André Silva's recovery

André Silva remains sidelined with an achilles tendon injury.
André Silva has been ruled out of Eintracht Frankfurt's DFB-Pokal clash with St. Pauli on Wednesday.

Speaking at a press conference today, Frankfurt coach Adi Hütter said he hopes to have Silva back soon, but wasn't able to specify when the striker should make his return.

"André Silva suffered an achilles tendon injury in training and will definitely not play tomorrow," Hütter said and added:

"I hope that he will be an option again very soon. I'm not assuming that he will be out for a month or two. But it's difficult to put an exact time frame on his recovery. We have to see from day to day."

Meanwhile, Hütter said there is 'a chance' that Bas Dost will play while Mijat Gacinovic could make his return from a muscle injury.
