NAPLES, Italy (Reuters) - Eintracht Frankfurt will be without their top strikers and their travelling fans for Wednesday's Champions League Round of 16 second leg but coach Oliver Glasner is confident his team can still overturn their 2-0 first-leg deficit.
Frankfurt will be missing suspended France international Randal Kolo Muani and injured Jesper Lindstrom who have scored a combined 18 goals in the Bundesliga this season.
Last year's Europa League champions have not won a game since their Feb. 21 first-leg defeat at home, having drawn two and lost one of their subsequent Bundesliga games. They will need to produce something special to get the better of Napoli, led by talented 22-year-old Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who are enjoying a scintillating season and sit top in Serie A.
