Confirmed Lineups: Atletico Madrid vs. Eintracht Frankfurt

Dino Toppmöller’s Eintracht Frankfurt face a stern task of playing away at three-time Champions League finalists Atletico Madrid. The hosts will miss their long-serving coach, Diego Simeone, in the dugout due to suspension.

Including five in the Champions League opener against Galatasaray, Frankfurt scored 27 goals in their first seven games of the season. Can Uzun and Jonathan Burkardt will hope to continue their impressive scoring streaks in tonight’s match.

Atleti revived their campaign with back-to-back home wins against Rayo Vallecano and Real Madrid. Former RB Leipzig striker Alexander Sorloth and ex-Stuttgart winger Nico Gonzalez are both dropped to the bench after starting the weekend’s Madrid derby.
