Oliver Glasner confirms: Frankfurt professional Almamy Toure has been injured for months
Bad news for Eintracht Frankfurt: The Europa League winner will have to do without the Almamy tour in the coming weeks. The central defender from Mali has sustained a tendon injury and will be out for at least two months, as SBU coach Oliver Glasner said at the press conference on Friday two days before the Bundesliga home game against 1. FC Köln (Sunday, 3:30 p.m./heaven) explained. Tournee was substituted in the 1-1 draw last weekend in Berlin.

“I hope that it might go a bit faster and that he can still take one or the other game with him in the fall,” said Glasner, cautiously optimistic, despite the seriousness of his protégé’s injury. In their four competitive games so far this season, the Hessians have only managed to win once (in a 4-0 win against Magdeburg in the DFB Cup). In the Bundesliga, the clear 1:6 at the start against champions Bayern Munich was followed by the aforementioned 1:1 draw at Hertha BSC. They missed out on another UEFA Supercup title after losing 2-0 to Champions League winners Real Madrid.
The 26-year-old Tournee moved from AS Monaco to the Main metropolis in 2019. However, 19 Bundesliga appearances per season (2019/20) have been the highest of feelings for him to date. Especially at the beginning of his time in Frankfurt, the defender repeatedly struggled with thigh problems. In the Europa League final against Glasgow Rangers, he made a major contribution to winning the title by replacing the then injured Martin Hinteregger with a solid 120-minute performance.
