Eintracht Frankfurt head coach Armin Veh has insisted that he has no concerns about David Kinsombi being ready as the youngster prepares for a rare start against Borussia Dortmund.
Stefan Reinartz will miss the trip to Signal Iduna Park due to injury, but Veh is confident that 19-year-old Kinsombi can handle the pressure of taking on Thomas Tuchel's side.
"I do not want to talk about a performance, but rather see one," Veh told reporters. "[Reinartz] has improved but he is unlikely to be fit.
"Kinsombi has always done good things in training. Now he has the chance to play.
"He does not have much to lose as a young player. It is easier for him to go into the game and look forward."
Frankfurt have not won any of their last six games in all competitions.
