The test matches will take place on July 9th (against Panathinaikos Athens), followed by two matches on July 12th, with Schalke facing Wehen Wiesbaden at 11 AM and FC St. Gallen at 3 PM.
Wehen Wiesbaden, a third-tier side in Germany, and FC St. Gallen will provide a challenging test for Schalke as they gear up for the new season. The team will also travel to Greece to face Panathinaikos Athens, offering a taste of international competition.
Coach Miron Muslic has announced that he will be taking 33 players, including injured players Kenan Karaman, Amin Younes, and Janik Bachmann, to the training camp in the Stubai Valley. The training camp commences on Monday, with the team meeting at Düsseldorf Airport at 6:30 AM. After landing and lunch, training for the test matches will begin.
Muslic acknowledged that the team's intensity is not yet visible given the short preparation time. However, he was satisfied with the team's performance in a recent test match, despite the 3:2 score. He believes that the team did not always make the right decisions during the match due to the high level of fatigue.
Nikola Katic, the defensive leader of Schalke, was praised by Muslic for his debut performance. The coach expressed that the test matches will provide a chance for the team to grow and improve before the official season begins.
