Markus Pröll (born August 28, 1979 in Rheinbach) is a German goalkeeper who is playing for Eintracht Frankfurt since 2003-04. He started his professional career with 1. FC Köln and initially even became first goalkeeper until he was benched.

He was elected by the German football magazine kicker as the Bundesliga's best goalkeeper of the first half of the 2006-07 season. Unfortunately he hardly could contend this title as he suffered of many injuries.

In the winter break 2007-08 he was injured again.

[edit] Trivia

At the beginning of his career, Pröll became a target of some ridicule because his name "Pröll" literally means something like "lout" in German.
