Frankfurt confirm calf injury rules Burkardt out until further notice

Turning into the final games of 2025, the news comes as a blow to Frankfurt given Burkardt has scored 11 goals in 17 games across all competitions.

Eintracht Frankfurt have confirmed this afternoon that Jonathan Burkardt will be out until further notice. 

The 25-year-old suffered a calf muscle injury during the Hessen club’s 3-0 defeat to Atalanta Bergamo on Wednesday night. 

Burkardt was in the starting lineup but had to be replaced by Dino Toppmöller on 59 minutes when he sustained the blow.

Jean-Matteo Bahoya was called upon by Frankfurt’s head coach to replace the German marksman. 

His withdrawal appeared to coincide with the turning point in the game’s momentum as the Serie A club scored three goals in 5 minutes.

Frankfurt have wished Burkardt a speedy recovery and will likely offer a more detailed update on how long he will be sidelined for.
