Eintracht Frankfurt's injury problems have worsened with the news that midfielder Umit Korkmaz has broken his foot for the second time.

The Austria international missed the first month of the Bundesliga season after breaking bones in his right foot during his first training session with his new club, following his summer arrival from Rapid Vienna.

The 23-year-old returned in October and made six appearances, before suffering a recurrence of the problem in training this week and rejoining a lengthy injury list.

The mid-table side are already without the likes of Ioannis Amanatidis, Christoph Spycher, Alexander Meier, Christoph Preuss and Zlatan Bajramovic through injury.

"I have been in the professional game for a long time but I have never experienced a series of injuries like this," said Eintracht chairman Heribert Bruchhagen.
