Chandler (thigh) is available for Saturday's clash against Union Berlin, according to the club.
Analysis: Chandler had recently returned to training after nearly a month sidelined with a thigh injury, and his inclusion on the matchday squad now confirms he has rebuilt enough fitness to be considered. The 36 year old is expected to provide experienced depth across several positions once fully up to speed, though his playing time is likely to remain limited.
Returns to training
Chandler (thigh) returned to training Tuesday after spending nearly a month on the sidelines, the club announced.
Analysis: Chandler has resumed training after being sidelined for nearly a month with a thigh injury suffered during a training session. The 36-year-old may still need time to rebuild his fitness before being considered for competitive action after missing much of the buildup to the new campaign. Chandler is expected to provide experienced depth across several positions once fully fit, though his playing time is likely to remain limited.
Injured in training
Chandler is sidelined while he works on his rehabilitation from a thigh injury suffered in a recent training session, the club reported Saturday.
Analysis: Chandler has seen limited action lately, and this new injury represents a considerable blow for the club following his contract extension until 2027. The versatile midfielder will likely require some time to regain full health, potentially missing the first few fixtures of the 2026/27 campaign. Meanwhile, Ritsu Doan should be the main starter on the right wing.
Signs contract extension until 2027
Chandler has signed a contract extension with Eintracht Frankfurt until the end of the 2026/27 season, the club announced.
Analysis: Chandler joined the club at age 10 and progressed through every youth team, making 199 competitive appearances for Frankfurt and having returned to the club in 2014 after a spell at Nurnberg and gone on to win the DFB Pokal and UEFA Europa League. Sporting director Timmo Hardung praised his professionalism and influence as a role model for the club's younger players, and Chandler will also gain insight into various areas of the organization through the club's ProfiCamp alongside his playing duties next season.
