Eintracht Frankfurt were without their first-choice goalkeeper for Thursday's Europa League clash with Ajax, with Kevin Trapp ruled out with a shin injury.

And, as Eintracht coach Dino Toppmöller announced after his side's 4-1 win, Kaua Santos will again deputise for Trapp against VfL Bochum on Sunday.

"We'll have to see about Kevin. He won't be available on Sunday either," Toppmöller said at his post-match press conference.

"He's been gridding his teeth over the last few weeks because he's a player with incredible ambition.

"He always wants to be on the pitch, but the pain was getting worse and worse. I took the decision not to risk anything.

“We also have confidence in (Kaua) Santos, and he - like everyone else - has done very well and helped us reach the (Europa League) quarter-finals.”
