FC Schalke 04, threatened with relegation, has apparently drawn personal consequences because of the numerous injuries within the team and released a member of the coaching staff from his duties.
Among the numerous problems, FC Schalke 04 are also worried about the numerous injuries to their stars.
Alex Král and Thomas Ouwejan, who were actually planned to help with the difficult mission of staying up, cannot train fully at the winter training camp in Belek, Turkey.
The Czech midfield strategist has been struggling with persistent back problems for weeks. Left-back Ouwejan has persistent knee problems.
Whether and how the 26-year-old Dutchman can help at the beginning of 2023 is completely open.
Against this background, Schalke is increasingly looking for a new man for the left-back on the transfer market, according to “Bild”. However, the economic constraints make a possible commitment extremely difficult.

As the tabloid further reportsthere is loud criticism from the squad, aimed at the problems faced by many players when returning from injury.
The S04 leadership has now drawn personnel consequences: The rehabilitation trainer David Gröger, who was only committed in the summer, should no longer be responsible for the professionals.
The 42-year-old is currently released, they say, and can switch to the Knappenschmiede or the women’s football department of the district club.
Schalke’s timetable until the Bundesliga restart on January 21 (3:30 p.m.) at Eintracht Frankfurt includes not only the units in Belek, but also friendlies against FC Zurich (January 7) and 1. FC Nuremberg (January 10).
