Frankfurt: Eintracht Frankfurt are struggling to deal with playing in front of empty stands after action in the Bundesliga resumed following a two-month break caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

(Freiburg’s coach) Christian Streich is right when he says that it has little impact on the top teams, but it has a big impact on a lot of teams like us.” Eintracht have conceded eight goals in the two games they have played since the resumption, losing to Borussia Moenchengladbach and Bayern Munich. They have slipped down to 14th place in the 18-team league. “We have to work our way out of this precarious situation, but I’m convinced of the quality and experience in my team,” Huetter added.
