IRNA - Mehdi Mahdavikia will
be in the first team line-up of Eintracht Frankfurt for Sunday's Bundesliga
encounter against Hamburger SV, the daily Frankfurter Rundschau newspaper
reported Thursday.
The Iranian skipper will replace Eintracht defender Patrick Ochs who will
have to sit out the match in Hamburg.
Hampered by a string of injuries and woeful performances during the season,
the former HSV player has yet to fulfill Frankfurt's high expectations when
they signed him to a three-year contract last summer.
One of the surprise teams of this Bundesliga season, Frankfurt is presently
ranked 7th with 32 points out of 21 Bundesliga games.
