🥐 Breakfast news: Many candidates for the DFB goal & Raúl new S04 coach?

The football weekend is still having an impact, a lot has happened in the last few days. Who will be the new Schalke coach and how is Marc-Andre ter Stegen doing? We’ll bring you up to date with the breakfast news.

For Germany’s number one Marc-André ter Stegen, the end of the season is a bitter certainty. The FC Barcelona goalkeeper tore his patellar tendon on Sunday against FC Villareal and will probably be out for at least eight months. Yesterday afternoon, ter Stegen underwent surgery, and according to the Catalans, the operation went according to plan. But now the question is of course who replaced ter Stegen in the DFB goal.

According to ‘SID’, there is no one big favorite in the DFB goal, there are several candidates. The first to be mentioned were of course the names of the two reserve goalkeepers from the last international break, Oliver Baumann and Alexander Nübel. But Manuel Neuer is also being discussed again, at least by the media. Behind them, Kevin Trapp (currently injured) as well as Bernd Leno, Noah Atubolu and Stefan Ortega also have outside chances.

Not only FC Barcelona, ​​but also Manchester City are worried about a top star. Midfielder Rodri had to be substituted after about 20 minutes of the top match against Arsenal due to injury. The first diagnosis came out yesterday: according to “The Athletic” and “ESPN”, the Spaniard has torn the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

The downtime for a cruciate ligament tear can of course be predicted relatively well given the many cruciate ligament injuries in sport. If things go well for the Spaniard and he can complete his rehabilitation without any setbacks, he could perhaps be back on the pitch by the end of the season. But it is just as possible that Pep will have to do without his star pupil until the end of the season.

At FC Schalke 04, the search for a replacement is in full swing following the separation from Karel Geraerts. As ‘Bild’ reports, the Royal Blues are keeping their eyes open abroad in particular. A name has also been mentioned that could once again trigger the last feelings of happiness that Schalke have been missing.

The Spanish portal “Relevo” brings the name of Raúl González Blanco, or Raúl for short, into play. He was a player in Gelsenkirchen from 2010 to 2012 and still has Schalke in his heart. This is not the first time that this rumor has appeared and this time too, according to “Sky” and “Relevo”, a Raúl return is unlikely. On the other hand, “Bild” also writes that Raúl is unhappy as coach of Real Madrid Castilla. Taking over the coaching position at Schalke does not seem to be ruled out either.

Lamine Yamal recently made a fan very happy. From the moving taxi, the 17-year-old sent a greeting to the taxi driver’s niece.

At the end of the video, the niece’s little brother says: “Your dream has come true.” She will probably never forget that day.

One English week follows the next. Of course, you don’t have to miss out on football tonight either. The ball is rolling in La Liga….
