Eintracht Frankfurt's Rasmus Kristensen is facing surgery for a ligament injury in his left ankle and might miss the rest of the season.

The 28-year-old Danish international right-back got the injury during Frankfurt's 3-0 win over Borussia Mönchengladbach, and it's looking like a long recovery.

A specialist's exam confirmed surgery's needed for Kristensen's ankle injury, and Frankfurt's bracing for him to miss the rest of the season. 

This injury's a big blow for Denmark's World Cup qualifying campaign. Kristensen was already out for the first match against North Macedonia due to suspension.

Now, he'll likely miss the potential final playoff match too - whether it's against Czech Republic or Ireland, depending on the outcome. Bitter pill to swallow for Denmark.
