Schalke 04Clears calf injury
Lasme has rejoined team training after recovering from his calf injury, ahead of an intense preparation week for the upcoming match against Union Berlin, according to the club.
Analysis: Lasme had been expected to face an extended absence with a calf muscle injury, a setback that came at a difficult time given the recurring nature of his fitness issues and coach Miron Muslic's emphasis on player availability. His return to full training is an encouraging sign, though he still faces an uphill battle to reclaim a regular role given the competition from Junior Adamu, Edin Dzeko and Moussa Sylla.
Facing extended absence
Lasme suffered a calf muscle injury and is set to be sidelined for an extended period, with no firm timeline given, according to WAZ.
Analysis: Lasme's setback comes at a difficult time despite having scored a few goals during preseason, with the recurring nature of his fitness issues making him one of the more disappointing stories of recent weeks at Schalke. Coach Miron Muslic places heavy value on player availability, an area where Lasme has already run into trouble more than once. Lasme is expected to face an uphill battle to reclaim a role up front given the competition already in place from Junior Adamu, Edin Dzeko and Moussa Sylla. His extended absence only adds to the depth chart pressure he was already facing before this latest injury.
Inactive due to wrist issue
Lasme was left out of Saturday's matchup versus Atalanta after suffering a wrist injury in training.
Analysis: Lasme could see his return to Bundesliga play frustrated for a few weeks, although there's no exact information about his recovery timeline. The forward, who scored two goals across 12 second-division appearances last year, is currently expected to operate as a bench option behind Moussa Sylla, though his injury adds another concern to a side already missing Edin Dzeko (thigh).
