Eintracht Frankfurt signing Kalajdzic: I didn't get a reason why Wolves never played me

Wolves striker Sasa Kalajdzic has commented that he has “felt like a fireman" so far this season.

The Austrian came back from injury last term, but has been used sparingly by manager Gary O'Neil this time around.

Now that he has gone on loan to Eintracht Frankfurt for the rest of the season, Kalajdzic admits the move was necessary.

“They simply relied on other players and not me," he said in a press conference after being unveiled as a Frankfurt player.

“I tried to do my best in training, they never blamed me for that, and they told me I was always professional, that I always worked hard, but then they didn't really give me a real reason.

“In the end I felt more like a fireman, called on when there's a fire under the roof and then maybe I'll come on and I'll score a goal. Maybe save the situation. But I wanted to come into play now, when the result was normal.

“I know what I can do, I've definitely been able to learn something from this time. You can always learn something, anywhere.

“But most importantly you play. At the end of the day, it doesn't do you any good if you don't play and that's the reason why I'm here now and no longer there."
