Ghost games controversial
Although many around the world have been supportive of the return of football, it has divided opinion between supporters.
An opinion poll from German outlet Sportschau yesterday revealed that only 31% of the public in the country supported the return of the league, with 56% opposing it.

— Eintracht Frankfurt (@eintracht_eng) May 15, 2020
"Goncalo Paciencia will definitely miss out. He's picked up a muscle injury and will unfortunately not be available for now. Marco Russ is also still unavailable - otherwise we're at full strength."
––––––#SGE #SGEBMG
'Everyone is happy to train and play'
"The team have always been well informed about the necessary measures.
"They have paid really close attention to their hygiene and maintaining the necessary distance over recent weeks and will continue to do so.
"If a player feels unsafe for themselves or their family, they’re more than welcome to stay at home. No one here is being forced to do anything; everyone is happy to train and play."
'We have to win games'
"We will show our mental strength. It won't be easy, but the situation is the same for all teams. So we have to prepare well because there is a lot to do. We have to win games. After two months of being far away from football in our heads, we have to rebuild our concentration."

"Denis Zakaria's knee operation went well. We're not too sure how long he'll be out for, but we're hoping that he'll be back in 4 to 6 weeks" Eberl said on Monday.
The 23-year-old has featured 31 times for Gladbach this year, scoring and assisting twice in that time.
Eintracht Frankfurt: Team News
Adi Hütter's side have no players who are injured or suspended ahead of Saturday's game.
After a long period without any football, it may be a difficult one for both sides to adjust to playing a full 90 minutes. Speaking to eintracht.de after the club's first training session in quarantine, defender Martin Hinteregger said:
"We’ve trained very hard in the last few weeks, we did a lot of running and a lot of physical conditioning.
"You can see that in every session, even if they are short and intense.
"Everyone wants to play and leave the long periods of training behind them. We’re all raring to go.”
Will Hinteregger strike again?
Die Fohlen ran out 4-2 victors on the day, but the Austrian defender scored one of many headers the season against his former club.
Speaking to eintracht.de ahead of the match, Hinteregger said:
“It’s always special. I’ve already scored two or three goals against them. Maybe I’ll get another one at the weekend, that would be nice.
"The time has come to score goals again and I’m ready. At the end of the day, though, the most important thing is to win three points.
"That would be a great start going into the remainder of the season.”
He previously played in Nordrhein-Westfalen back in 2016, appearing in ten games whilst on loan from Red Bull Salzburg
Gladbach aiming to solidify Champions League spot
Die Fohlen travel down to Frankfurt, where they will aim to carry on their form from their previous game before the Bundesliga was suspended when they defeated Koln 2-1.
A win in Hessen will take Marco Rose’s side one step closer to securing Champions League football for next season.
Football is back
From Saturday 16th May, however, Germany becomes the first league to resume in Europe. It's been a long time coming, and Eintracht vs Gladbach will round up the first day of fixtures.

After the foals' two early goals, Frankfurt started to settle back into the game, but were never able to overcome Gladbach's advantage.
Adi Hütter's side will face FC Bayern in their next match, one that could be very worrying if they do not improve their performance from what was seen today.
Marco Rose's men will play Bayer Leverkusen in a six-pointer for the Champions League and title race
