Back in action Saturday
Ljubicic (knee) played the full second half of Saturday's practice game versus Atalanta, according to his club's official website.
Analysis: Ljubicic subbed on for Eric Junior in his first appearance since suffering a minor injury in preseason. Ljubicic is now back in contention for a midfield spot and could be involved in a rotation during the 2026/27 season. He previously made 15 Bundesliga 2 starts, scoring four goals and delivering three assists over that period.
Returns to group warmup
Ljubicic (knee) rejoined Schalke's group training Thursday but only took part in the warmup before continuing individually with sprints and passing drills, according to WAZ.
Analysis: Ljubicic had suffered a calf injury Saturday in the friendly against KSV Hessen Kassel, initially missing training as a result, and his relatively quick return suggests the issue isn't serious. No specific timeline for a full return to group training has been disclosed, and Ljubicic is expected to continue his individualized work before rejoining team training in full.
