Kenan Karaman: A really positive step in the right direction for me

An injury to his left knee meant that Kenan Karaman missed almost all of Schalke’s pre-season, but the club captain made his return to action last time out in Kaiserslautern. At the start of a new week of training ahead of Sunday’s (17/8) DFB-Pokal game against 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig, the 31-year-old talked about his comeback, the narrow 1-0 loss against the Red Devils and the first-round tie against last season’s Regionalliga Nordost champions.

Peter Remmert: The craziest way I’ve ever set up a goal

Friday night’s (1/8) opening game of the new 2. Bundesliga season against Hertha BSC could hardly have gone any better for youngster Peter Remmert. The striker was handed his first start for the club and assisted the opening goal in a 2-1 win. The only thing that was missing for the 20-year-old was a goal for himself at the sold-out VELTINS-Arena – and he actually missed a good chance for his maiden first-team goal just before the break.
