“It’s going to be an unbelievable experience for me this season. I can hardly wait for it to start”, says the right-back a few days before the start of the new Bundesliga season. The team has laid the foundations for a strong performance on Saturday with their intensive training sessions.

Kenny played the full 90 minutes at right-back as Schalke ran out 5-0 winners in the DFB-Pokal game at SV Drochtersen/Assel on Saturday. Head coach David Wagner does not want the 22-year-old to focus solely on his defensive duties. “I need to create more chances for my teammates. That is now a part of my job. I want to do that as much and as well as I can,” says Kenny, who again emphasises how much he is enjoying his time at Schalke: “I am loving the German life. My family is also here and they also like Germany a lot. It’s going really well and I feel at home here.”
