FRANKFURT, Germany (Reuters) - Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Jesper Lindstrom is doubtful for their Europa League semi-final second leg against visiting West Ham United on Thursday but defender Martin Hinteregger is fit again, coach Oliver Glasner said on Wednesday.
Lindstrom was injured in their 2-1 first leg win in England last week and missed their loss to Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga on Monday. Hinteregger, who also missed the league game, will be back following a brief illness.
Eintracht stunned West Ham 2-1 in the first leg, with both teams seeking their first European final in more than 40 years. The Germans' sensational European run, that included eliminating former European champions Barcelona in the previous round, has not been matched in the Bundesliga. "We should not be distracted by any Bundesliga result but approach the game for what it is. Second leg in a European semi-final. We don't live in the past. We need to be fully focused tomorrow," Glasner told a news conference.
