FC Schalke 04: Gregor Kobel at S04 allegedly also in conversation

Bild.de reports that FC Schalke 04 would have an advantage with Zack Steffen in that  Fortuna Düsseldorf has little chance of being able to hold it longer due to the sporty location . However, it is unclear how fit the 26-year-old is, since he has been suffering from patella tendon problems on the left knee since December 22, 2019 .

That is why Mark Flekken (26) from SC Freiburg),  Gregor Kobel (22, currently loaned from TSG Hoffenheim to VfB Stuttgart)  and Sport Bild Sven Ulreich (31) from FC Bayern Munich are said to be actually being discussed at S04 . By the way, just like a new plan for Markus Schubert .

FC Schalke 04 goalkeeper plan: Markus Schubert should leave S04 for one year

Accordingly, FC Schalke 04 rejected the plan to start the new season with Markus Schubert, Ralf Fährmann and Michael Langer . Instead, the S04 is reportedly considering borrowing Markus Schubert .

The plan would not come as a complete surprise . The German Under-21 goalkeeper otherwise threatens to be completely burned early in his career after his Bundesliga start can hardly be described as successful.
