According to the German "Bild" newspaper, the patient is a Belgian pediatrician who worked in West Africa and got infected with Ebola there.
A German Ministry of Social Affairs spokeswoman said on Thursday that the plan is to treat the patient in the isolation ward of the Frankfurt University Hospital.
However, the patient's health is in such critical condition that it's not certain he will be able to make the trip, said the spokeswoman.
On Aug. 27, an Ebola patient from West Africa arrived in Germany and was taken to the University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE) for treatment.
