BREAKING: Ex-Celtic Star’s Injury Nightmare Deepens! 😱💔
Loris Karius, a goalkeeper who briefly crossed paths with Celtic FC’s rivals, has suffered a major setback at German Bundesliga 2 side Schalke. The 31-year-old shot-stopper had been making waves in Germany, starting four consecutive matches and earning a spot in the Bundesliga 2 Team of the Week for his impressive debut performance.
However, Karius’ momentum was halted when he was substituted just before half-time in Schalke’s thrilling 3-3 draw at Furth on March 30. The club has now confirmed that the Germany international has suffered an injury to the ‘structural muscle’ in his left calf, which is set to rule him out for the rest of the season.
The Injury Blow
This injury setback comes at a crucial time for Karius, who had been vying for a starting spot at Schalke. With his contract expiring at the end of the season, the goalkeeper’s future at the club hangs in the balance. Schalke’s director of football, Youri Mulder, has assured fans that the club will support Karius in his recovery.
Karius’ Celtic FC Connection?
Although Karius never played for Celtic FC, his wife Diletta Leotta had previously expressed her desire for him to play in Italy, citing the inconvenience of living far from home during his time at Newcastle United. With his injury woes, it’s uncertain what the future holds for Karius.
What’s Next for Karius?
As Karius undergoes treatment and rehabilitation, fans will be eager to see if he can regain his form and make a strong comeback. Will he stay at Schalke or explore new opportunities? Only time will tell. One thing is certain – Karius’ injury is a significant blow to both the player and the club.
