The personnel worries of Schalke 04 are not getting smaller before the match in Freiburg. In training on Tuesday, the next professional injured himself.

In the Bundesliga away match at SC Freiburg, FC Schalke 04 can once again rely on central defender Moritz Jenz.

After the 23-year-old had to sit out training on Tuesday, he already made significant progress again on Wednesday and completed parts of the unit, for the game on Sunday (15:30/DAZN) Jenz is firmly scheduled.

“Moritz already had cramps in the game on Friday. You must not forget that he has hardly trained for two weeks before. The muscle should calm down a bit,” says licensed player boss Gerald Asamoah, explaining the training management of the defensive stabilizer.

There is less good news from Ralf Fährmann, as examinations have shown that the goalkeeper has torn a muscle fiber in the adductor area. For this reason, he will have to sit out several weeks of training, and is even threatened with retirement for the season. Asamoah confirmed that the club does not have much hope that Fährmann will be able to play again in the current season, but he also said: “We have every confidence in Schwoli. Because substitute goalkeeper Alexander Schwolow will replace the original Schalke player in the coming weeks.

Maya Yoshida will also have to be replaced in Freiburg. The 34-year-old Japanese is plagued with a muscle fiber tear in his thigh, but should not be out for too much longer. “Maya would prefer to train again today, but we don’t want to take any risks,” explained Asamoah. At least the veteran has been able to do a few laps of the pitch again.

In Freiburg, Cedric Brunner (shoulder injury) and Tim Skarke (ankle flesh wound) will also be absent – and Eder Balanta is also in danger of dropping out. The 30-year-old midfielder injured his left knee during Wednesday’s session, causing a scare. In pain, the Colombian was driven to the dressing room in a golf cart for treatments.
