Eintracht Frankfurt head to Borussia Dortmund for Saturday's Bundesliga showdown (18:30 local time) with almost no injury concerns. Coach Adi Hütter said at Friday's news conference that nearly his entire squad is available. "Only with Malik Pimpong do we have to wait and see," the Austrian said of the young forward, who has minor thigh problems. Nnamdi Collins, who came off early against Cologne, is "fully fit" again, Hütter said.
Hütter wants to keep the pressure on within the squad: "I want the competition to heat up." He hopes his team can build on last week's 1-0 home win over Cologne, saying he wants "us to pick up where we left off against Cologne."
Dortmund are second with 14 points, while Frankfurt are 11th with eight. Dortmund coach Niko Kovač has won three of his four meetings with Hütter.
