Great news for FC Schalke 04 fans: captain Kenan Karaman is back and ready to lead. After battling muscular issues in recent weeks, the key attacker is fit and set to return to the starting lineup for this Sunday's crucial home match against Preußen Münster.
Head coach Miron Muslic made the announcement official, stating, "Kenan Karaman will lead the team onto the pitch as captain on Sunday." His return provides a major boost to Schalke's attacking options and leadership on the field.
While Karaman's comeback is confirmed, the update on veteran striker Edin Džeko is more cautious. Muslic noted that Džeko has made "good progress" but is still working his way back from injury, meaning the squad must step up in his absence.
Despite facing the bottom-placed team, Muslic is warning his side against any complacency. He emphasized tactical discipline, pointing out that Münster have shifted from a 4-4-2 diamond to a 5-3-2 formation. "We mustn't lose our heads, we mustn't get carried away – then we'll manage it," he stressed, highlighting patience as the key to securing a vital three points.
