Younes Ebnoutalib immediately scored a goal on his first appearance for Frankfurt. Today, the newcomer started again against Stuttgart. However, his performance ended prematurely.
The striker sat on the pitch shaking his head in the 20th minute and had to be substituted moments later after a tackle landed awkwardly on the grass.

The subsequent scene on the sidelines offered a glimmer of hope: Ebnutalib was able to walk to the dressing room alone without the help of Frankfurt’s medical staff.
As a result, his latest fairy tale is currently taking a minor hit. However, the 22-year-old has often been able to overcome setbacks throughout his young career.

Speaking of which: Soon after, his team had to deal with two more pieces of bad news. Less than ten minutes after Ebu Nutalib was replaced, goalkeeper Kaua Santos crossed at the feet of German forward Ermedin Demirovic, helping Demirovic equalize and the score became 1-1. Rasmus Kristensen had earlier given the Eagles the lead with a header (5th minute).

In the 35th minute, things got worse for SGE. Deniz Undav turned the tables for the Swabians. Auréle Amenda fatally deflected his shot. The good news: Things are only going to get better in the second half of the year. German football clubs may have something to say about this, though.
