Beim Europa-League-Viertelfinale zwischen Eintracht Frankfurt und Tottenham (0:1) vergangene Woche kam es in der 38. Minute zu einer folgenschweren Aktion. Nach einem langen Ball auf Spurs-Star James Maddison (28) rannte Eintracht-Keeper Kauã Santos (22) ungestüm aus seinem Tor. Anstatt den Ball zu treffen, rammte er Maddison im Strafraum – mit dem rechten Knie voran – um und flog danach selbst auf den Boden. Im Anschluss wurde Santos am Knie behandelt. Für den verursachten Elfmeter, den er nicht halten konnte, stand er wieder im Tor, und auch das Spiel machte er zu Ende.
Am Tag nach Eintrachts Viertelfinal-Aus verschickte der Klub eine Pressemitteilung: Santos hat sich bei der Aktion gegen Maddison das Kreuzband gerissen. Laut SPORT BILD-Informationen klagte Santos schon in der Halbzeit über ein instabiles Knie. Allerdings sagte er Trainer Dino Toppmöller (44), dass es für ihn weitergehen könne. Santos spielte also trotz seiner Verletzung inklusive Nachspielzeit noch 66 Minuten. Entscheidend dafür: Nach SPORT BILD-Informationen handelt es sich bei der Verletzung um das hintere Kreuzband am rechten Knie – und nicht das vordere. Das macht einen Unterschied.
[–>Sportmediziner und Kniechirurg Prof. Dr. Werner Krutsch (45) aus Nürnberg erklärt: „Beim hinteren Kreuzband handelt es sich um eine klassische Torwartverletzung. Während das vordere häufig durch Drehungen reißt, passiert das beim hinteren eher durch einen Aufprall von vorne.“
So wie in Santos’ Fall. Aber wie konnte der Brasilianer überhaupt weiterspielen? Krutsch: „Das hintere Kreuzband ist deutlich kräftiger als das vordere. Es reißt in den allermeisten Fällen nicht komplett. Wenn jemand bei einer hinteren Kreuzbandverletzung weiterspielt, dann spricht das für einen Teilriss.“
„Mein ganzes Bein war …“: Bayern-Star Davies verrät Details über Horror-Verletzung
Muss das Knie dann überhaupt operiert werden? Krutsch: „Das hängt von der Stärke des Teilrisses ab. Ob es zu einer OP kommt, wird nicht durch das MRT entschieden. Das MRT zeigt nur, ob das hintere Kreuzband überhaupt verletzt ist. Wie instabil es aber wirklich ist, zeigen die Stabilitätstestungen der körperlichen Untersuchungen. In den allermeisten Fällen kann das hintere Kreuzband konservativ, also ohne OP, ausheilen. Die operative Behandlung gibt es nur, wenn das Knie zu instabil ist.“
Im Fall Santos finden die Nachuntersuchungen noch diese Woche statt. Sollte das Knie konservativ behandelt werden, würde das eine Ausfallzeit von drei bis vier Monaten bedeuten. Wird es operiert, droht eine Pause von einem Dreivierteljahr.
Für Santos ist die Verletzung dramatisch. Er war gerade erst zu Frankfurts Nummer 1 aufgestiegen, hatte Kapitän Kevin Trapp (34) hinter sich gelassen. Sogar englische Topklubs wie Tottenham und Manchester United zeigten Interesse. Er ist die Zukunft im Frankfurter Tor, soll irgendwann mal mindestens 60 Mio. Ablöse bringen. Die Verletzung wirft ihn zurück und könnte auch einen Einfluss auf sein offensives Torwartspiel haben.
Durch Santos’ Ausfall ist Trapp wieder zurück. Der Kapitän hat seine Verletzung im Schienbeinmuskel auskuriert. Beim 0:0 in Augsburg am vergangenen Wochenende war er sofort zur Stelle, hielt stark. Je nachdem, wie lange Santos ausfällt, wird sich sogar sein Vertrag (läuft bis 2026) verlängern. Kommt Trapp, der 3,5 Mio. Jahresgehalt kassiert, in der kommenden Saison auf rund 25 Bundesliga-Spiele, sichert er sich das Extra-Jahr bis 2027. Das ist in einer Klausel festgeschrieben.

NBA coaches on the hot seat? Front-office changes ahead? Here are 5 franchises to watch in ’25-26
As the 2025-26 NBA season is about to tip off, we'll soon learn which teams work, and which teams will be forced to make alterations in the future. But that doesn't mean we can't guess our way to something beforehand about the current outlooks of certain franchises that might need organizational changes soon. Here are five teams to keep an eye on.Heat: What's the plan, Pat?All right, all right. It's unfair to pin the latest round of mediocrity on just Pat Riley, as GM Andy Elisburg also has some serious sway in the organization. Yet you have to wonder how long the Heat can maintain their steadfast refusal to rebuild. They have good players, and quite a few of them, but they simply do not have in their possession a player who can carry them into the Finals now that […]

Steelers vs. Bengals live updates: NFL ‘Thursday Night Football’ score, prediction, odds and latest
The last time DK Metcalf came to Cincinnati, the Bengals asked Cam Taylor-Britt to follow him around all day. He’s the most physical cornerback on the roster, almost ideally built to handle the rugged style Metcalf can use to win matchups. Taylor-Britt owned the day. Metcalf only caught four of nine targets for 69 yards and got an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, taking out his frustration on the Cincinnati corner in a 17-13 loss. Since then, Taylor-Britt has fallen off dramatically. He’s on the brink of being benched a fourth time after critical mistakes in the loss at Green Bay last week. The top corner on the Bengals’ roster right now is DJ Turner, but at a slightly 5-11, 185 pounds, how much will defensive coordinator Al Golden choose to travel him with Metcalf given the differing styles? Golden also has […]
