FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) - Eintracht Frankfurt forward Sasa Kalajdzic is set to miss the rest of the season after suffering a third ACL tear in five years.
Frankfurt said Monday that Kalajdzic tore the cruciate and lateral ligaments in his right knee during the team's 3-3 draw at Freiburg in the Bundesliga on Sunday. The club said he will be "out indefinitely."
The 26-year-old Kalajdzic sustained the injury in an off-the-ball incident and was taken off in the 11th minute. He was on crutches after the game.
It's the Austria forward's third serious knee injury since 2019 after twice tearing the ACL in his left knee.
Kalajdzic joined Frankfurt in January on loan from Premier League team Wolverhampton Wanderers. He previously enjoyed a successful three-year spell at Stuttgart, scoring 24 goals in 60 competitive games for the German team.
Kalajdzic has four goals in 19 games for Austria.
