Eintracht Frankfurt goalkeeper Kevin Trapp still won't be available for the Bundesliga match against Heidenheim on Sunday.

"Kevin Trapp won’t be involved on Sunday. We still hope Ansgar Knauff can play, but we’ll have to wait until the final training session tomorrow," coach Dino Toppmöller said in a news conference on Friday.

Trapp has been sidelined since mid-March due to a shin injury. On Thursday, his deputy Kauã Santos had an impressive performance in the 1-1 draw at Tottenheim in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-finals tie.

Toppmöller didn't want to say who will start between the posts in case Trapp is fit for the final games of the year.

"The main thing is for Trapp to get healthy again - and when that happens. Then we will receive information, and we will see it. For me, it is important that Kevin gets back on the pitch as soon as possible because he is an incredibly good goalkeeper," the coach said.

Frankfurt are third in the Bundesliga, but 20 points behind leaders Bayern Munich and, therefore, not in the title race.
