Eintracht Frankfurt manager Adi Hütter is preparing to welcome midfielder Sebastian Rode back to the team's bench, describing the player as his former captain. Hütter made the remarks ahead of the Bundesliga club's upcoming fixtures, signaling Rode's return to matchday involvement after a period away from the first-team setup.
"He was my captain," Hütter said, highlighting the relationship between the coach and the 33-year-old German international. Rode, who has spent multiple spells at Eintracht Frankfurt, provides experienced cover in midfield as the team navigates a demanding schedule across domestic and European competitions.
The development comes as Frankfurt continues its campaign in the Bundesliga and European competition, with squad depth becoming increasingly important during the congested autumn fixture list.
