Eintracht Frankfurt
What's the big deal at Eintracht Frankfurt?
Eintracht Frankfurt drops Mario Götze from the Bundesliga squad for the away game against Mainz 05 on Sunday. The World Cup winner is neither injured nor ill, but coach Albert Riera is doing without him.
What happened?
Götze did not play in the last two games and sat on the bench for 90 minutes. Eintracht struggled and scored only one goal in total. Riera also has no use for the World Cup winner in Mainz.
Why is this important for Eintracht Frankfurt?
The decision is all the more explosive because Götze and Eintracht are in the middle of contract negotiations. The World Cup winner wants to extend his contract, which expires in the summer, by another year and stay with Eintracht Frankfurt.
What's next?
Eintracht Frankfurt is currently 7th in the Bundesliga with 42 points from 29 games. The recent form is WDLWD. The last game ended 2-2 against VfB Stuttgart on 2026-05-16.
