Mario Gotze
33-Year-Old
Eintracht Frankfurt
Bundesliga
GTD
Injury Strain
Est. Return 9/21/2025
Eyeing return Sunday
Gotze (strain) rejoined training Tuesday and is now eyeing a return when facing Union Berlin on Sunday, according to manager Dino Toppmoller. "Mario has rejoined the team this week. Yesterday and today, he took part in the training sessions, but he won't play a role tomorrow yet. We hope that he can return to the squad on Sunday."
ANALYSIS
Gotze won't make the UCL opener Thursday, but is in line for a possible return this week, as he does have a chance of making the team sheet Sunday after training this week. This is good news for the club, as they will be gaining back some depth and veteran presence in the midfield. He started in 18 of his 24 appearances last season while recording three goals and two assists, although he will likely see a bench spot to begin if fit.

ANALYSIS
Gotze spent the 2021-22 season playing for PSV Eindhoven and could feature for one of the best sides in Portugal next season, though both sides have yet to reach an agreement. The former Dortmund and Bayern Munich star is not the player he once was, but he remains a competent playmaker that could thrive for most teams in Europe.
