Bundesliga club FC Schalke 04 will have to do without offensive player Dominick Drexler for a long time. Schalke coach Thomas Reis explained the absence of the 32-year-old regular in the squad for Saturday's game at VfL Bochum (2-0) with a muscle injury to Drexler. Reis expects the former Cologne player to be out until the next international break at the end of the month. Drexler would then only be back on April 1 against Bayer Leverkusen.
