Tedesco: The doctors don't know when Embolo will be back

Schalke's record signing Breel Embolo is sidelined with a serious injury once again. "I don't know when he'll be back and neither do the doctors," says Schalke coach Domenico Tedesco.

Breel Embolo has seen his development at Schalke 04 hampered by several serious injuries since he joined the club from Basel for €26,5 million - a club record fee - back in 2016.

At the moment, the striker is sidelined after suffering a fractured foot in November - and it's currently unclear when he will make his return.

"Currently, Breel can't even walk normally. I don't know when he'll be back - and neither do the doctors. It could be in March. And then he will also have to get in shape," Tedesco told Bild.

Embolo, 21, has made 15 appearances this season with three goals and one assist to his name.
