Schalke 04: Lino Tempelmann in front of comeback - hope for the fans!

In the world of football, there are often surprising turns - especially at Schalke 04. Lino Tempelmann, who was sorted out by the then coach Karel Geraerts during the past season, could now hope for a comeback. The midfielder, who last came into action on the last matchday of last season, was completely dipped during this time.

Tempelmann spent the summer in Munich to cure a knee injury. After returning to Gelsenkirchen almost two weeks ago, he had now prepared intensively for his return. In the shortest possible time, he could play an important role in the team, especially after the coaches.

Chance for Tempelmann under a new trainer

With the takeover of the training by U23 coach Jakob Fimpel, many players, including Tempelmann, now have a second chance. This change could come at the right time for the 25-year-old, especially since he got back into team training on Monday, September 25th. He has overcome his injury and seems ready to return.

"Lino worked very hard and was in good shape before his injury. If he is fit, I know his qualities and they are also showing themselves," said his teammate Ron Schallenberg in an interview with the "WAZ". This suggests that Tempelmann is not only physically but also mentally ready to help his team.

The pressure on fimpel as an interim coach is great and all eyes are aimed at his decisions. It will be exciting how the situation for Schalke and Tempelmann will develop, especially after the new coach is to be presented during the international break.

past exchange thoughts

Tempelmann was already in discussions last summer. The SV Elversberg showed interest in a loan, and the player himself also considered a change to Saarland. But in the end, Schalke decided to keep Tempelmann in the team, and that could turn out to be the smartest decision.

The player clearly has the potential that the Schalke squad needs in this phase. A fitter temple man could be crucial for the next games, even if the match against Münster on September 28th will probably be a little too early for his comeback. However, the game against Hertha on October 5 will offer the opportunity to return to the squad.
