Just before the start of the season, the number of injured players at FC Schalke 04 continues to rise. Tempelmann is training in Munich at his own request.

FC Schalke 04 kick off in a week and a half: The Royal Blues welcome Eintracht Braunschweig (Saturday, 8.30pm) to the Veltins Arena for the season opener. Amin Younes will not be involved. The former international (eight caps, two goals) was still able to draw attention to himself in the training camp and in recent sessions, leaving his teammates standing in rows.

In Gelsenkirchen, the attacker, who has played for Ajax Amsterdam, Eintracht Frankfurt, SSC Napoli and most recently in Saudi Arabia for Al Ettifaq, wanted to regain his old strength. Before moving to the Royal Blues, he was without a club for almost a year. In Gelsenkirchen, he was first allowed to keep fit and then recommended himself for a new contract with good performances in training.

However, Schalke coach Karel Geraerts immediately put his trust in him and he was immediately appointed to the team squad. “I consider it an honor and see it as a compliment. I am happy to accept this position of trust,” said Younes in an interview with Kicker about his new coach’s decision

However, he will not be an option for S04 coach Geraerts at the start of the season. The 30-year-old suffered a knee injury in the narrow 1:0 test match victory against SC Verl. The diagnosis: an irritation, and the attacking player will train individually over the next two weeks.

Lino Tempelmann has also been absent from Schalke training for some time. The midfielder, who already suffered a knee injury last season, is completing his training program in Munich at his own request. He no longer plays a role in the club’s plans. Bryan Lasme has only just returned from a short injury break. Now he has been hit again. The attacker injured his thigh at the training camp in Mittersill and has now torn his inner ligament in training
