COLLINGWOOD MAGPIES 2019<\/a> <\/p>\nEintracht Frankfurt manager Adi Hutter has issued an ultimatum to forward Ante Rebic\u00a0after a poor showing in his side\u2019s surprise 1-0 defeat to Strasbourg on Thursday night.<\/p>\n
The Croatia international was withdrawn at half-time as the Bundesliga side were beaten 1-0 in France, leaving last year\u2019s Europa League semi-finalists on the verge of an early exit.<\/p>\n
Frankfurt\u2019s excellent season last year was built around the effective attacking trio of Rebic, Luka Jovic and Sebastien Haller.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
With the latter pair having left for Real Madrid and West Ham, respectively, Rebic has also been linked with a move away and some suggested that his performance against Strasbourg suggested his head had been turned by rumours of an approach from Inter.<\/p>\n
“If he wants to stay here, I want him to show it,\u201d Hutter said. \u201cIf not, we have to find a solution.<\/p>\n
“When you play for Eintracht Frankfurt, I want you to give everything you’ve got.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn’t see that from him today. We’ll sit down with him and talk plainly.”<\/p>\n
Rebic started the season well, bagging a hat-trick in the DFB-Pokal first-round win over third-tier side SV Waldhof Mannheim. However, he hasn\u2019t scored in any of his other four appearances so far.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Goalkeeper Kevin Trapp also expressed his exasperation after the game, though he didn\u2019t refer to Rebic directly.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the first half, not everyone was fully involved so we didn\u2019t stand a chance,\u201d Trapp said.<\/p>\n
While Rebic was the least heralded of Frankfurt\u2019s attacking trio last season, he finished the campaign with a solid return of ten goals and six assists and was a key part of their link-up play.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Despite the large fees brought in for both Jovic and Haller, manager Hutter has yet to bring in a replacement for either forward.<\/p>\n
In their first game of the new Bundesliga season, a 1-0 win at home to Hoffenheim, Rebic was the furthest man forward with Daichi Kamada and Mijat Gacinovic playing behind him.<\/p>\n
Inter have been the club most closely linked with signing Rebic, though rivals AC Milan have also emerged as a potential destination. Sporting director Bruno Hubner has previously spoken of being confident of keeping hold of him.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
