Eintracht Frankfurt's Younes Ebnoutalib out for several weeks

Ebnoutalib, who joined from Bundesliga 2 outfit Elversberg earlier this month, was making his second appearance for the Eagles against VfB Stuttgart on Tuesday after scoring on his debut in the 3-3 draw with Borussia Dortmund on Matchday 16.

However, he was forced off after 20 minutes against the Swabians with what appeared to be a knee injury. After the match, head coach Dino Toppmöller said: "Things aren't looking too good for Younes. He took a knock, and then his knee buckled a bit."

Now, Frankfurt have confirmed the 22-year-old will be missing for several weeks after suffering a tear to his medial collateral ligament.
