Sad surprise: Eintracht star Uzun injured prematurely!
Today, November 2nd, 2025, the eagerly awaited game between Eintracht Frankfurt and 1. FC Heidenheim took place. The Frankfurt fans were in good spirits as the team had already shown some impressive performances this season. But the game took an unexpected turn in the 26th minute when youngster Can Uzun had to leave the field due to injury.
Uzun, who has established himself as a real key player this season, was substituted after suffering a blow to the back of his left thigh. At that moment, the 20-year-old was emotionally moved and visibly fought back tears. Mario Götze took his place and from now on should try to turn things around for Eintracht. The exact diagnosis of his injury is expected in the coming hours or days and fears of a long-term absence are already hanging over the stadium.
The meaning of Can Uzun
This season, Uzun has already scored six goals and provided four assists in 14 competitive games, making him an indispensable part of the team. Coach Dino Toppmöller had already regulated his workload and rested him in the cup game against Dortmund. Despite these precautions, the pressure and high demands placed on Uzun do not appear to have been without consequences.
Toppmöller commented on the challenges of load management and the need to optimally support and at the same time protect young players like Uzun. “Young player, big responsibility” cannot be denied. The coach will now have to wait for the next steps to secure the future of his talent and minimize possible side effects of the injury.
Fans and analysts agree: Eintracht will feel Uzun's absence. The coming phase will be crucial to how the team fares in the Bundesliga and responds to the challenges of the rest of the season. A good hand in Uzun's return could prove to be worth its weight in gold to get off to a good start again. But until then, it remains to be seen how the situation with his injury will develop.
