25-year-old Egyptian forward Omar Marmoush has been named the Bundesliga Player of the Week by Kicker, marking his fifth appearance in the league’s weekly best XI.
What Happened?
Marmoush delivered a stellar performance in Eintracht Frankfurt’s 7-2 victory over Bochum, playing 70 minutes, scoring one goal, and providing two assists. His contributions helped Frankfurt leapfrog defending champions Bayer Leverkusen into third place in the Bundesliga standings.
The forward’s goal in the match was his 10th of the season, making him the first Frankfurt player to reach this milestone in the opening nine games of a Bundesliga campaign. This achievement also saw him break a 30-year-old record set by Tony Yeboah, who scored nine goals in the first nine matches of the 1993-1994 season.
With his two assists, Marmoush’s direct goal involvement for the season now stands at 16, placing him at the level of Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane, which is the league’s highest.
