Hesse: Eintracht wants to extend the home series against Leverkusen

Frankfurt / Main (dpa / lhe) - After two competitive defeats, Eintracht Frankfurt wants to return to the road to success in the Bundesliga home game against Bayer Leverkusen. Coach Oliver Glasner has to do without six defensive players in the game today (3.30 p.m. / Sky), including defensive chief Makoto Hasebe. The 38-year-old Japanese will be out for several weeks due to a torn ligament in his knee. At least the latest statistics are encouraging for the Hessians: The last home defeat against the Werkself was almost five years ago, since then all duels have been won in their own stadium.
