emotions run high as Schalke and Hertha kick off their second league campaign with an intense initial clash

In the highly anticipated Bundesliga-caliber duel between German football giants Schalke and Hertha BSC, one key player will be missing - midfielder Paul Seguin. Hertha coach Stefan Leitl has expressed concern about Seguin's injury, which will prevent him from playing in the opening match of the 2. Liga season.

Seguin's move to Hertha BSC from Schalke this summer was partially due to Leitl's internal push for his desired player. The coach played a role in bringing Seguin to the club, and Leitl considers him to be a very important player for Hertha.

The midfielder's time at Schalke was not as successful as expected, with six goals and nine assists in 57 games. Despite this, Schalke could still receive an additional 300,000 euros in bonuses if Hertha achieves promotion, contingent on Seguin reaching a certain number of appearances.

Hertha is working to get Seguin fit as soon as possible, but the persistent calf issues have proven challenging. The debate about Seguin's comments from Leitl is heating up in the Schalke sphere, with some questioning the coach's decision to bring Seguin to Hertha.

Seguin and Leitl have a history together, having worked together at Fürth. Leitl played a crucial role in Seguin's rise to the Bundesliga, and their partnership continued when Seguin transferred to Hertha.

The match between Schalke and Hertha BSC is being broadcasted on Sky, Sat.1, and live on the B.Z. ticker. Despite Seguin's absence, fans are still eagerly anticipating the duel between these two historic clubs.
