Schick suffers another injury setback

Patrik Schick expects to be sidelined for the next three to four weeks.

Bayer Leverkusen star Patrik Schick has revealed that he has suffered another injury setback.

Schick was named Czech Footballer of the Year on Monday night in Prague and made the announcement during the award ceremony.

“It does not look good with my injury,” Schick said, as quoted by Kicker, adding that he hopes to be “back on the pitch in three to four weeks”.

The Czech striker will therefore not be an option for head coach Xabi Alonso until mid-April at the earliest.

He’s currently being treated in his homeland by internationally renowned physiotherapist Pavel Kolar.

Schick has missed 11 of 25 Bundesliga games this season due to injury.
