The Austrian international suffered a thigh injury in the second leg of the Europa League semi-final against West Ham which saw him stretchered off.
Manager Oliver Glasner immediately ruled him out of the final against Rangers and stressed he would be out for many weeks, but insisted he would travel with the team to help his colleagues.
But Eintracht captain Sebastian Rode has revealed Hinteregger could yet be in line for a remarkable recovery against Gio van Bronckhorst 's side.
He said: "Martin decided to ask for a second opinion about the injury and he's not ruled himself out.
"He's already working very hard. He is out cycling and running. He believes nothing is impossible and thinks he has a chance of playing.
"It would be incredibly important because he's a huge figure for us in central defence."
Meanwhile, Eintracht are sweating on the fitness of young Danish star Jesper Lindstrom after he failed to recover from a hamstring injury.
The 22-year-old was voted Rookie of the Year in the Bundesliga, but has missed Eintracht's last three games and won't play against Mainz today either.
Boss Glasner said: "The medical department is working at full speed with him.
"I don't want to make a prediction just yet. A decision will be made a couple of days before the final itself."
