Liverpool’s misfiring forward line will be licking their lips looking at Frankfurt’s defence, which has conceded 18 goals in a five-game run.
While Liverpool, on a four-game losing streak, have teething problems of their own, Frankfurt have struggled after once again losing their biggest star.
Last season, Ekitike was Frankfurt’s principal attacking force, particularly after the winter departure of Omar Marmoush to Manchester City.When Liverpool striker Hugo Ekitike returns to face his former club Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League on Wednesday, he will find a side which bears little resemblance to the one he left in July.
