Austrian international apparently out for Schalke for weeks
The 28-year-old sustained a knee injury when blocking a shot. The worst fears were not confirmed, but he will still be sidelined for an extended period.
Even though the 3-1 victory against Union Berlin brought a lot of positive feelings for FC Schalke 04, there was also a bitter pill to swallow.
Dejan Ljubicic sustained an injury to his left knee while blocking a shot and had to be substituted after 21 minutes. As reported by "Bild," the worst fears, that the Austrian international might have suffered a cruciate ligament tear, have not been confirmed. Nevertheless, it is a persistent injury that will result in a weeks-long break.
In addition to the upcoming league match against SV Elversberg, his availability for the game against SC Freiburg after the international break could also be tight. There is no official diagnosis yet.
