Six Schalke players are away during the international break. Victor Palsson, on the other hand, has a good reason not to travel.
With a thickly wrapped foot, Victor Palsson stood in the belly of the arena after the Schalker’s 4-2 defeat against his ex-club SV Darmstadt 98“Not so bad “, but the injury was, the clearer assured: “Just a knock. “
The fact that the 30-year-old will not be travelling to the Icelandic national team has nothing to do with the injury.
“I have said that I will not play. I spoke to the national coach, I wanted to stay here,” Palsson reported and revealed the reason: “My son lives in Canada, but he’s with me right now. I don’t want to travel away for ten days and miss time with my son. I don’t see him that often.”
Even without Palsson, however, there are still six Schalke players on international trips: Malick Thiaw (U 21) and Mehmet Aydin (U 20) with German junior teams, Yaroslav Mikhailov with the Russian U 19, Darko Churlinov is with the North Macedonian selection, Blendi Idrizi with the Kosovan. The furthest away is once again Ko Itakura, who is playing for Japan in Vietnam and Oman.
