Eintracht Frankfurt coach Dino Toppmöller has excluded the Egyptian international from his squad that is preparing to face Borussia Dortmund at Deutsche Bank Park on Friday evening, in the top match of the 18th round of the Bundesliga.
Marmoush was ruled out after Frankfurt announced that he was in talks with another club regarding his transfer.
Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg said on Friday that Frankfurt and Manchester City are close to finalizing a deal for Marmoush’s departure, with City paying 75 million euros to sign the Egyptian international.
He also pointed out that the agreement included a clause that allows Frankfurt to receive another 5 million euros in additional incentives, after initially requesting 80 million in one payment.
He added: “The terms of the final payment will be finalized between the two clubs today.”
Frankfurt is in third place with 33 points, while Dortmund is in tenth place with 25 points.
Dortmund won the first-leg match at Signal Iduna Park 2-0, with Jimmy Gittens scoring both goals.
Frankfurt’s lineup is as follows:
Trapp, Thiate, Koch, Ekitike, Christensen, Skhiri, Larsson, Brown, Gotze, Collins, Knauf.
