Busy in draw
El-Faouzi had one shot (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Bayern Munich.
Analysis: El-Faouzi contributed a solid effort while playing closer than usual to his goal in a difficult matchup. The midfielder won 11 of his 18 ground duels and succeeded on each of his four dribble attempts during a 90-minute appearance. He has served as a decent all-around option over the first two games of the season, yet he has lacked the offensive projection and set-piece numbers he had during Schalke's promotion campaign in the second division.
Signs contract extension until 2030
El-Faouzi has signed a contract extension with Schalke until summer 2030, the club announced.
Analysis: El-Faouzi started all 34 second division matches in the promotion-winning campaign after joining from Alemannia Aachen, completing the full 90 minutes in 31 of those outings while leading the entire league in total distance covered and number of high-intensity runs. Sporting director Youri Mulder praised his quality and mentality while acknowledging his standing as a sought-after player on the transfer market following his outstanding season, with the extension also serving as recognition for his performances. El-Faouzi expressed his happiness at the club and his excitement to begin his first Bundesliga campaign, having also received a call-up to the Morocco national team preparation camp ahead of the World Cup following his impressive season.
