Against Darmstadt, Zaid Tchibara was only on the lawn for the second time in a competitive game for Schalke’s team-with bitter episodes.
Schalke 04 has to do without Zaid Tchibara for a long time. The 19-year-old was seriously injured in the 0-2 loss to Darmstadt 98 and will be “several months”. The second division announced this on Monday.
Accordingly, the offensive player in the final phase of the game towards the “lilies” suffered a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament in the right knee. It was only his second effort with the professionals. After an MRI examination, the player will, together with the association, decide which treatment method was the best, it said.
Schalke’s director of professional football Youri Mulder emphasized: “This diagnosis hurts even more than the defeat.” The association will support Tchibara in the best possible way on its way back. “Zaid will work again,” said Mulder.
