Silva was fit to train separately last week as he suffered muscle pain in the second half of the draw with Frankfurt’s 2-2 win over Borussia Dortmund. Eintracht’s seven-goal striker missed a 2-1 defeat to Wolfsburg on Friday, but could show some potential in Germany’s financial capital. Boss Toast will start in the role of solo striker after he marks his return to the starting line-up against former club Wolfsburg with the fourth goal of the season. Stephen Ilsankar was liked by Ayman Barcock in midfield, but the latter got it off the bench, and can recall. There was also a cameo of late for Napoli debtor Amin Younes, who was close to full fitness following illness and tapping. A minor injury leaves Eric Termin’s run right-back in doubt, while Danny da Costa is on the lookout as the Eagles try to finish a run in seven games without a win.

With four points and better place than Frankfurt, the eighth-ranked Gladbach have won one of their last five Bundesliga tours, losing only once in that time. Foles stepped back from a goal to equalize with Hertha Berlin on Saturday, thanks to a second goal from captain Freel Embolo, who stood out in several games. During the Foles’ successful UEFA Champions League team campaign, regular captains Lars Stindle, Alasen Flay and Thuram started the Hertha hurdles on the bench, but should be remembered in Frankfurt. Right-back Stephen Liner is also expected to return, but the accumulation of yellow cards dismisses midfielder Florian Newhaus. If Yan Sommer has a suspicion again, Tobias Sipple may continue between goal-posts. Winger Jonas Hoffman is definitely out.
