Player to watch – Omar Marmoush

Egyptian attacker Omar Marmoush was in sensational form in midweek when he had a hand in three of Eintracht Frankfurt’s four goals in Die Adler’s thumping 4-1 win over Freiburg.

Marmoush could start again

With Marmoush’s transfer to Man City still not ironed out, the 25-year-old could be in line to start again in Friday’s high-profile fixture against Borussia Dortmund. Marmoush has the skills to tear apart a lacklustre Dortmund defence.
