The location of the growth has not been disclosed. Having seen a urology expert, Russ, Eintracht's captain, was diagnosed with a "severe tumour", but still insisted on captaining his club in their relegation play-off against second-division Nuremberg. Despite Frankfurt dominating the game, Russ gave Nuremberg the lead at the Commerzbank Arena when he turned the ball into his own net just before the half-time break. Eintracht levelled through Serbian midfielder Mijat Gacinovic early in the second-half.
