Frankfurt boosted by return of Boateng and Hasebe

Eintracht Frankfurt are boosted by the injury return of experienced duo Kevin-Prince Boateng and Makoto Hasebe ahead of Friday's Bundesliga derby clash against Werder Bremen.

Boateng has been one of the leaders in coach Niko Kovac's dressing room since joining from Spanish side UD Las Palmas in the close season.

The 30-year-old was missing in training on Monday and Tuesday due to abductor discomfort he suffered over the weekend while veteran Japanese defender Makoto Hasebe also missed training with a knee knock.

However, both players returned to training on Wednesday and we're looking fit as the Eagles prepare to engage Werder Bremen in the Rhein-Main-Derby on Saturday.
