Nikolov: Foot injury

Sky Bet

Frankfurt will be without goalkeeper Oka Nikolov for at least six weeks due to a foot injury.

The 36-year-old has damaged tendons in his left foot and is now unlikely to be available for selection until mid-April.

Ralf Fahrmann has stepped in to cover Nikolov's injury as Frankfurt aim to climb away from the Bundesliga relegation places.

Former Macedonia international Nikolov has been a first-choice selection of Frankfurt manager Michael Skibbe.

Nikolov has spent his entire professional career at the Commerzbank-Arena and is under contract until June 2012.
