FC Schalke 04 News: Varela's Injury Woes Continue

Uruguayan Midfielder Faces Lengthy Absence

Contract Extended Despite Setback

FC Schalke 04 have suffered a major blow with the news that midfielder Gustavo Varela is set to be sidelined for another six months. The Uruguayan international, who only recently returned from a long-term injury, has suffered a recurrence of his previous problem.

The 25-year-old has been plagued by injuries since joining Schalke in 2021, making just 12 appearances for the club. His latest setback is a bitter blow for the player and for Schalke, who are struggling at the bottom of the Bundesliga.

Despite Varela's injury problems, Schalke have shown their faith in the player by handing him a one-year contract extension. This decision suggests that the club believes Varela can still play a key role in their future.

However, Varela's latest injury setback is a major concern. The midfielder has been out of action for three weeks with a thigh injury, and now faces a further six months on the sidelines. This means that he will likely miss the rest of the season and the start of the next.

Schalke will be hoping that Varela can overcome his injury problems and fulfil his potential at the club. However, for now, the Uruguayan's future remains ungewiss.
