ElversbergAssists on winner off the bench
Futkeu assisted once to go with zero corners and two chances created in Saturday's 4-3 win over Monchengladbach.
Analysis: Futkeu was able to get in on the action offensively and contributed to the winning goal to give Elversberg three points. He might be called on to provide another spark against Bayern Munich, though the reigning Bundesliga champions present a stout defensive matchup as they allowed just 36 goals a season ago.
Loaned to Elversberg with option
Futkeu has joined SV Elversberg on loan with an option to buy from Eintracht Frankfurt, according to the club.
Analysis: Futkeu won the second division Golden Boot last season, scoring 19 goals in all 34 matches for Greuther Furth, following an 11 goal debut campaign there the year before after joining on loan from Frankfurt. The 23 year old forward, born in Essen, came through the academies of ETB Schwarz-Weiss Essen and Rot-Weiss Essen before a brief spell with Koln's reserve side, and now gets his first taste of Bundesliga football with Elversberg.
